Bek from White Magnolia Photography
I find herons to be majestic creatures. I love how the black and white plays that up and adds such great drama. Thank you for sharing this photo with us Bek!
Due to the fact that some participants have been confused about which button to use, I am going to put the "Showcased" button HERE. Jouko, Georgia and Bek please go HERE to grab your button.
Now it's your turn to share your photo with altered tones. Here is the guidelines for Tones on Tuesday:
- The basic idea is to share one photo where you have altered the tones. Such as a black and white, sepia toned, selective coloring or colored photo. Feel free to share the original and edit, or just the edit.

For my picture this week, I am taking a small break from my sunset streak to show off a picture of my dog niece Cece. I love dogs. I grew up with a black lab for the first several years of my life. My favorite show is The Dog Whisperer. But due to my current living situation, I cannot have a dog right now. So, whenever possible I borrow my brother's girlfriend's dog Cece. She is the most amazing animal and just a joy to be around. While she was over yesterday, I took a few pictures using my new 50mm lens. I love this picture of her sleeping as it captures the contentment of a lazy Sunday afternoon. I went with a tip I learned from various blogs I have read about focusing on the subjects eye when using a low aperture number (something I don't often do shooting landscapes) and I think it worked really well for the kind of feeling I wanted. Below are the SOOC and a black and white conversion. I love black and white, but I think I might like the SOOC best in this case. What do you think?
Settings: ISO 800, 50mm, ss1/30, f/2.0 (full manual, tungsten wb)

ReplyDeleteHard to choose - both pics have merits but I think I'm with you in the SOOC shot overall - that glorious honey brown fur makes it hard to resist. Thank you for your time and effort in hosting this link up.
ReplyDeleteBoth pics are sweet, but I think I like the SOOC the best! She looks so content!
