Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I want parameters narrow enough to make the work compelling and cohesive, but broad enough to allow myself, and my viewer, the pleasure of being able to find their own way through the work.<\/em>” — Gregory Halpern<\/strong> in PhotoWork: Forty Photographers on Process and Practice<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some locations I go to and they scream black and white to me because of the ambiance. For me, great black and white images fall into two categories: very dramatic with stormy skies and bold compositions and at the other end of the spectrum a calm and minimalist composition<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 Helen Rushton<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStriving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Harriet Braiker<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the last several weeks I have been experimenting with adding washes of complimentary colors to images using techiques such as split toning, gradient maps, color balance adjustment layers and others. These images were taken on a foggy morning and were virtually monochromatic before processing. I feel that the colors make for more interesting images, but I am also partially color blind, so I tend to overdo colors that I probably don’t see as intensely as others. Would appreciate getting feedback.<\/p>\n
