Stoplight

2007.10.30

Don't STOP having fun.

Throw CAUTION to the wind.

And GO after what you want.

A few more on white. Still with the D200 and 70-180 macro lens. These were taken outside under overcast skies and I slightly overexposed them and bumped up the contrast.

I think the ones I do inside have more dramatic lighting and I like that more but I still like these. Different styles. Where yesterdays were more alive, these are more static. But I'm starting to like the white backgrounds. What do you think?

And if you are wondering how my friend Bolder did, you can read his race report here. He proves that even when you have a race/weekend you don't expect, you still WIN!

I think the ones on black look more dynamic (but that could have been the leaves as well). These are still lovely studies. My favourite is #1.

I don't know about the white - but I really like these shots. They are more static than the black, but the overexposing does good things - I guess you don't need such saturated colours against the white. Also like the faint shadows - #3 is magnificent!

I love both sets :-)

Some days the black seems more dramatic and other days I like the bone white. So perhaps it's the subject that dictates the background. How do you get the white to stay so clean and white?—my white often yellows.

#1 jumps out at me the most.. great shots.. I was wondering how Bolder did I will have to check that out...

Thanks everyone! :)

Because I take these outside on my balcony and the walls and the balcony itself are blue, I usually have to worry about a blue cast more than anything. But I clean up the whites (and blacks) in photoshop elements. With whites, I use remove color cast. And I usually burn in the blacks to make them darker. On the backgrounds that is.

Bellissime!

Oh how pretty. They all came out so bright and colorful.

Tackylady1 · 2007-10-30: 11:36

I like the white background. #1 has the best color, but they all look good. And I'm a little jealous. I've got a D70s, but one of these years i would love to have the D200. If only I didn't have to eat regularly. lol
