When I made my entry I knew that I hadn't really hit the HC look with this...

but I ran out of time to shoot another. I was actually pleased with the result considering the full tonal range of the shot.

Not an outtake of my original shoot, but after the deadline, I decided to try again with the same subject and came up with this...


Do you think it would have done better?
After all of the discussion of what is really high contrast did any of you try again? If so post what you wish you had shot before the deadline.

I think it would have done better. Not a whole lot but a little bit. It's certainly a better angle, but the bridge still needs to be more in the picture and the tree takes up too much of the negative space. It's hard to say how to improve it further without being there though :)

I really like the one you enter in the HC challenge! Do you mind if I edit it a bit more?

Thanks philup. I thought about pushing the HC in the original too but I was afraid it would look like I just slid the contrast bar. I like your edit.

I went for the retake because I wanted to get a pic that was more HC straight out of the camera. I did very little pp other than the conversion to B&W.

Thanks for the comment and the edit!

I understand about the pushing the HC! But sometimes "pushing it" means a higher score. People want different, keep that in mind!

Will do. Thanks for the advice.

hello everyone, just wondering everyone's opinion on this photo:



i thought it was a great HC entry, but it didn't receive a single comment, and the score wasn't very high at all.

just curious as to other's opinions.

thanks so much :D

jerowe,

I think it's a great composition. But I think it suffers from the same thing my entry did. It seems to have a full tonal range and not the dramatic black black and white whites the a typical HC shot would have.

i agree, thanks so much. after looking at alot of other examples, it just looks like a B&W image. totally understand now

thanks a ton :D
