Last month’s challenges consisted of: Creative – Blue; Technical – Contrast; and my favourite of the year.
1 Creative – Blue
I started with the thought of taking a close up of the Lindor chocolate using an lens extension tube however having taken several shots I saw the shadow the sweet wrapper left like an angel’s wings and decided this image was different.
2 Technical – Contrast
The Humber Bridge is a superb structure and lends itself to photography. I walked several miles up river taking many shots as I went to get different angles. In the end I settled for this view. I then processed it using Photoshop Elements to increase the contrast and outline the edges.
3 Favourite of the Year
And finally my favourite of the year. Choosing a favourite from the hundreds of images I had was, as you might imagine, very difficult.
The photo of the parliament building in Budapest is magical.
I’m experimenting with using a voting plug-in and for the first time you can vote for which of the three images above is your favourite…
