I have posted this before, but for the #fivedayblackandwhitechallenge I will be posting some of my favorite work, along with a word about the image itself.
ReplyDeleteThis is ~Baby Steps~
I was out with her walking, just a few days post bilateral knee replacement.. I took at least a hundred photos, of the trees, of the river below us.. the setting sun and the warm sky.. (note that none of them were posted)
As she finally took a few tentative steps, some of her first without the support of a spotter, I turned towards her and snapped one pic without notice.. Its not that sharp, If you look, you can see motion blur... and she turned around and started walking back to the car.. she had made it 100 yards.. as she slowly walked passed me the other way she looked up and said ~Baby Steps~ and slowly walked off..
Post was in PS:CC went from colour to B/W using the Image:Adjustment:Black and White, some minor adjustments to levels ect, then used the History Brush to return the colour to her outfit..
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice story Kevin! You've taken the challenge to the next level: good idea!

ReplyDeleteUnless you are giving Blood...
ReplyDeleteHaha Kevin Vincent Very true!
ReplyDeleteOftentimes as in the case here, the write-up of the story is even better than the already great image. Good job, Kevin!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned, you could add it to the "VSOP" category. :-)
