49/365 Photo Project - B&W Selective Color

B&W Selective Color

This was converted to B&W in PhotoShop but first I created a duplicate layer from background and using the selection tool cut out the areas I wish to show their true color.

Taken with the Canon PowerShot SX230HS no cropping, tone corrected and of course processing as described above. I like the 'pop' of selective color, will have to try this more often. This is my second attempt using this technique, you can see my first try in my January 24th post.

Data Loss If you learn one thing from reading any of my posts on this blog I hope it's that you can never backup too often. My laptop hard drive died on me the other day and I have lost 6 months worth of photos. I am needless to say more than a little pissed at that. Being someone who is computer savvy I would normally backup to DVD, to external Hard Drive to web sites more regularly than I have been doing due to our recent house move, never let being too busy be an excuse, back up now before something happens to your important photos, files, financial records or and passwords too! So today's photo is of my old hard drive as I continue in vane it seems to recover the files on it, no luck yet using it as a second drive, trying GetDataBack and HDD Regenerator apps on it, although both programs are pay to use they do allow you to look at your HD first to see if there is anything they can recover and believe me I would gladly pay the 50 bucks to get those pictures back. Fortunately...

152/365 Photo Project - Old Car Headlight

Image
Old Car Headlight Parked in the lot near where I work was this old Chevy truck was still going strong after all the years of hard labor I'm sure it's owner has put it through. I attempted a similar idea on my own automobile at the beginning of the year. Taken with the LG Optimus Elite, spot focus added effect added in post processing. Update 9/20: Adding a photo of the full frontal of the car for Timmy.
