June 'Fade to Black' images - DPChallenge Forums

05/31/2009 07:33:58 AM · #1

Ok - I know it's slightly early - but different time zones you know ?

Anyway, just to reiterate the rules . . there are none really

people can commit as much or as little time as they feel possible.

You can use old shots / new shots
Black and white / Black and colour
Layers
Single shot / Dyptich

Your background can be - cut out, painted out, processed out, or taken without . . . so long as it's black ( or certainly black'ish )
Whatever works for you :- )

So far the following have expressed an interest in joining in - but all are welcome.

This will be my first side challenge. I think I am clear on the rules but I have a noob question. Where and how do we post photos?

Hey Andrew - nice easy question :- )

You simply post the thumbnail in this thread, for an example look at this side challenge

Please count me in for this! I have been doing a lot of florals w/fade to black b/g's and I really like the concept. This should be great fun! Jo ;-)

I was once told this would be too "dark" for DPChallenge. Still it got two comments. I think it is one of my best.

Here's a shot that has been out of circulation for a while. I will be looking for situations and subjects that I can shoot specific to this S C this month.

EDIT: Per request... I shot this at an aquarium, but the water background was pretty dark already. I darkened it in PP to "black it out".

I would love to join this side challenge - won't be able to enter every day, but I will join in when I can.

Here is one - I was contemplating putting it in the Free Study, but I think it has too shallow of a depth of field so I chose a different photo for the Free Study. I hope I made a good choice!

PM sent. Normally one image a day - across June - no judging, just comments and sharing.
