Week 12: Linked linky

I have kept it simple this week and gone back to my childhood to craft some paper people chains.

As Graham (Overbez) always does, I have linked below to a SOOC image as I think this is really useful and insightful idea. After taking the image I corrected WB using white levels dropper, darkend the blue using levels midtone slider and then added gradient to the top and bottom using Nik Software's colorefex. Thanks for looking (y)

Sorry Jason....I deliberately avoided looking at the thread until I had done mine, I didn't know you had already done a similar thing :oops: :$

Here is my contribution for LINKED I will try and give a little more detail about my pic.

I decided today to do the dancing men, the main thing at first was to cut them out...I created some strange looking people o_O the next hazard was trying to get the men to stand up and not fall over just as I took the shot...I tried a number of ways ...in a line, lying flat, but then decided on the circle...I wasn't too keen on the shadows cast by my light as I kept losing the nice inky blackness, so I set up a piece of glass on some black card to get the reflection and put the camera on my tripod. I don't have PS and as it was just black and white I took it into Pic Monkey and added the colour, added a black frame to fill the edges out a bit and darkened the contrast a little to blend it in with the frame....

Please feel free to give an honest critique...I am here to learn....and also to enjoy the challenge at the same time. I know my comments can seem a little 'light', obviously I'm not qualified to make technical critique, but I do like to acknowledge the hard work everyone puts in, and hopefully offer some relevant comments.

Week 12 - Linked



Taken at the Barbican in London, just along from where I work.
These metal supports link the roof structure to the main concrete supports. I had the final look of the image in mind when I took this, that is a darker more gritty feel to the image.

C&C welcome as always
