October 7 2004:
All Fired Up

I felt I’d been on a bit of a roll picture-wise this week. Whilst I saw this balloon, I was really struggling to make it look interesting, especially after seeing Gayle's shots in New Mexico. Then I hit on the idea of making it different by converting this colourful craft to monochrome! Of course, I fiddled around with the Channel Mixer again..

Also gave me an excuse to put that Pat Benetar number in the CD player after quite a time.



Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Converted to monochrome via Channel Mixer
Adjusted Grey Channel in C Mixer: Red +114%, and Blue -52%
Framed: using # FFFFFF
