Day 3 - High contrast and hopefully some drama

Okay, it is midnight where I live. I am officially tired now. I tried to get to as many photos as I could to leave a comment but unfortunately I did not get to all of them. There are some very nice B/W photos. I have always loved B/W photograghy and I am really enjoying this side challenge. Look forward to seeing more shots on Thursday. Good night.

Day 4

Heh, Becky, don't worry about commenting on every single one. With as many people as joined the bandwagon, it's almost impossible. I do think that this is an opportunity to experiment and have fun though, so I'm not treating it like a regular challenge, but an exchange of ideas between old and new friends.

Day 3 - The Shouting Match


I think I need to calibrate my monitors. On one the contrast looks great (to me) the other it looks kind of flat.

A quick question which someone may be able to help with. Given that I am only pp in picasa is there any way I can boost the contrast of my images at the point in time at which I take them (ie will faster shutter speed or higher iso do it etc)

Really appreciate the comments that I have been getting. Very upbeat and some great CONSTRUCTIVE criticism which is exactly what I was looking for in taking part

Day 3



Can I say that I'm really enjoying all the comments I'm getting on my photos it is helping alot. Everyone seems to process with different programs (I have photoshop elements 5) so sometimes I get lost in the lingo that people use, but I'm learning and that is what counts.

Hello Jon, generally you can get richer details and better contrast if you go with a lower ISO and/or higher F-stop (8 or more) with a slower shutter speed. If you are not taking an action shot or if there is not a speedy movement of the subject you can get rich detail with high F-stop, slower shutter speed, and lower ISO. If you go that route you might need a tripod depending on the time of day when you shoot. The higher you go with ISO you generally get more grain. A greater F-stop will increase the DOF and get you some lovely sharp details in BOTH foreground and background. You will have to play around with shutter speeds to get the correct exposure but then that is what bracketing (taking lots of pictures at different settings) is for:-)

Many thanks for the speedy response...I will certainly try to employ these technique over the next few days
