Today has been a crap day. I only had a few minutes to snap the kids having their snacks of Japanese crackers & fizzy drinks & got this shot, not having a plan, just hoping to get a different angle. When I finally saw it I thought it would be perfect w only the bottle in color. I just got Scott Kelby's book on Lightroom in the mail this week & had actually seen an example of this! It was so easy! Duh, you editing geniuses are saying. But I have likened myself to a chimpanzee hitting the keyboard when it comes to editing, so I was well proud when I did this. Yea me.
ISO 125 f2.8 1/400
I'm posting this to CIUAN's I learned bc I did actually learn something I could show you this week!
Nice job!!! I need to get that book. I love this!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this! Great job.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it could be an ad for ramune!
ReplyDeleteThis shot is AWESOME! Love the B&W with the color pop, way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove that soda!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the edit too~ looks awesome!
Love it!!!!! I think this was the perfect "pop" of color. Sorry, the puns just happen. I can't control them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! My favorite part abt this soda is that when you 'pop' it open it fizzes everywhere! Like champagne for kids! ha
ReplyDeleteThen the kids are entertained for at least 10 minutes trying to get that marble out.
I've not seen that soda, hmmm I'll have to look for it. Excellent job with the editing.
ReplyDeleteDid you desaturate everything but the bottle? I have a good handle on the basics in LR... but could stand to learn some tricks :) Maybe I need to pick up that book!
ReplyDelete@Megan, yup. Just use the adjustment brush, push the saturation to -100 & 'paint' away.
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't read the book yet. I just happened to flip thru & saw an example of this.
Hahaha. I am so utterly clueless in post-processing, so no 'duh' from this girl :) This is really a great picture to begin with. But that bottle is SO fun and just perfect for selective coloring. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI really love this! Beautiful. I really need to finish reading that book instead of just the uploading chapter. Haha
ReplyDeleteYeah, I seriously haven't gotten past that chapter either! This technique is around page 179ish (I think)!
ReplyDeleteI had NO idea how to do that for the longest time! I am not a fan usually, but this is a perfect opportunity to use it! I think I might make it a goal to find a photo op that would make selective color look good this week. You inspired me! :)
ReplyDeletethis is great.. love the bottle and color!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I've wanted to do a similar thing with some pictures before, but don't yet have the software. Sometimes those accidental pictures can be better than the purposeful ones:)
ReplyDeletethis is a great edit, just watch out because you kinda missed some parts in the lower left part. (can see some color). Hope you don't mind the critique, i just seen you post this on ciuan! Anyway, you can ignore me. hehe
ReplyDeleteI checked it again Janell, in LR & on my blog, but I can't really see where you mean. On the bottle? On the concrete?
ReplyDeleteNice work!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm really getting motivated to learn some editing now!! BTW, I see the color Janell is talking about, but it's very slight... just along the edge on the lower left corner. It's TONS better than I could do... I wouldn't even know where to start. AWESOME job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great edit. Selective colour doesn't work for everything but you nailed it. This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI see what janell is talking about. It is in the concrete on the left hand side. I still love this and glad you taught me something new about auto masking! Thanks!! I'm still working on getting my LR to work on this computer! Argh! It's so frustrating!! Will post soon...hopefully!
