April Photo Contest Theme and timeline. [View all]
April's theme is Flowers and Foliage in black and white.
You have two weeks to grab suitable images you can either capture in black and white, or convert from color. Use this as an opportunity to get to know your Channel Mixer, and other black and white conversion technique.
You will find some flowers will return unexpected results. Some yellow flowers can be aggravating, but foliage is always a joy to photograph and manipulate. You will learn to love the architecture of the plants. Play with the red, green, yellow, and blue channels, once you click the monochrome option.
You can also desaturate, or change the mode to black and white.
You can add a bit of tone, but use a light touch. Use it to enhance detail. If you aren't used to thinking in black and white, now is a good time to learn.
Good luck and I will be posting the entry thread on the 14th. You will then have up to a week to post your images.
Fire up your cameras, and have fun.
