Photograph #55 The Sky’s the Thing
July 24th, 2010
It's big and brighter here than most
Partial color images are not usually my thing
I think they are too often gimmicky, but. Here, I wanted to diminish the foreground, which was full of deep greens and golds, and yet keep the framing. I desaturated, never finding the sweet spot until the foreground was all the way to black & white.
This is one of those effects that can be done with film but seldom is because it’s not easy. Digital development makes it almost too simple.
