this is probably the most editing i have done to an entry here.

thanks to jess for her patience & cooking the eggs for me ;}

i got the idea from an article in the newspaper this morning about dr. suess - but had to wait until later to take it. it's supposed to mimic an illustration from the book ( i think anyway ).

lit by 550ex bounced off wall - and a flood light.

basically the editing involved masking off the odd colored areas, and using curves and hue/saturation to alter the colors in specific areas. some dodging and burning on the can.

to add some drama to the background i did a gradient fill on a mask, blacked out the subjects, then adjusted levels for the area revealed by the mask.

couple dust spots remain - but out of time for today.

Dr. Seuss

I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am
Do not like them here or there
I do not like them anywhere.

Not in a house, not with a mouse
Not here or there, not anywhere
I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them, Sam-I-am

Could you? Would you? With a goat?
Could you? Would you? On a boat?
Could you? Would you? In the rain?
Could you? Would you? On a train?

Not with a goat. Not on a boat.
Not in the rain. Not on a train.
Not in a house. Not with a mouse.
Oh, no!

Not in a box. Not with a fox.
Not in a tree. You let me be!
I do not like green eggs and ham!
I do not like them, Sam-I-am!



I do not like green eggs and ham!

I like this. The lighting is perfect for this shot. I like the way you managed to get the green cast on the spam container.
