WEEK 5

NOVEMBER 10-16

 I'm finding this project really opening up for me and keep getting more and more ideas. It's really just trying to find enough time. 

Don't forget-- you can double click on an image to enlarge it in a black box. 

It was a cold week and I'm curious how the weather will affect how I shoot. I did take a couple of these shots from my kitchen window earlier in the week. 

I took a photo tonight of some trees in the plaza of the Berklee building that I thought would be a fun shot to fool around with some split toning and some of the Lightroom presets. Here's 3 different takes:

Ghost Trees- Selenium

Ghost Trees - Blue

Ghost Trees- Antique Light

 
I like the three images together- the middle was my own playing around with the split toning. The other 2 were presets on Lightroom that I tweaked a little bit. It was a fun process that made me do a little research on split toning - so a great learning experience.


Here's my favorite photo of the week, which I really liked and did before the Ghost Tree series. Then I went back after learning more about split toning and now I like it even more-- the different tones really added some texture.

I was getting ready for work in the morning and noticed some really nice light out the kitchen window- so I grabbed the camera and took a few shots. These are also in the Berklee Plaza which is right behind my building. If you look closely in the first photo- right in the middle - you can see a reflection of one of the outdoor chairs.

 A quick note-- If you were trying to leave a comment and got frustrated with the hoops you had to jump through to do so-- I have fixed that and now anyone can leave a comment. So please leave a comment--I love the feedback.

This was a tough week--I was very busy and the weather was mostly awful when I did have time. But this Sunday morning I was lucky enough to get both time and sunshine:

Sunny Sunday Morning

My neighbor John was out this morning enjoying the sunshine too.

But, the point of this exercise is to be out taking photos even when there is lousy weather. That's part of the challenge of the Project. I'm sure I will plenty of time, though, to take photos in lousy weather- because, as our window display friend reminds us-  

Winter is Coming

The Edgerly Playground made a lot of progress last week and should be opening soon.
