October Photo Challenge - DISCUSSION THREAD

Brilliant theme!

I got excited on Monday, took my camera and my 3 yr old for a walk in the local countryside on a bright sunny morning, where I knew there to be fabulous bushes full of glowing rosehips. Got there and realised that I'd left the memory card at home. :eek:

Not sure if the sun will be shining again, or when I'll have the chance to get out there again, but I'm ever hopeful. I've also put the card back into the camera, just in case ;)
 
Thanks StormFeather. I must admit, I thought about rosehips as well, only I'll have to go a bit further afield to find some at the moment. The only ones to hand right now are a little sparse. I've not quite forgotten my memory card, but I've gone out with the intent of taking some pictures and forgetting to recharge the battery, though!:rolleyes::)

Wow - great entries in the challenge already! Mouse, I love the ladybird, and BookStop's umbrella pic is lovely. I love the way the leaves in your shot are just starting to turn red, Abernovo - they're really pretty.:)
 
How on Earth do you get a black and white photo with one colour on it.

Sigh, don't be surprised about what one of mine turns out to be....
 
I saw Cul do it on the first photo challenge I entered (which was the Earth Day one, last... April? I think) and I had no idea how he did it. So I played around with things until I worked it out. ;)
 
Oh wow - great entries already! I still haven't got anything yet - the shots I've taken so far either look a little messy, or not quite the right colour (I've got some red berries in the garden, but they came out more orange than red, and some flowers that came out more pink). Fingers crossed I can get something I'm happy with!:)

The photo editor in Photobucket has a function to keep one colour in the shot, whilst making the background black and white. I might try using that myself.:)

Well I did this one by hand, by first removing all other colours in Colour>Hue/Saturation (remove Blue,Green,Yellow etc) then I used the Sponge tool set to desaturation and went all over the image.

I got this (not part of the contest)

Yes, this month I've posted.

With me and red, I was considering posting one of my critiques; that's what people generally associate with me and the colour. Or a photo of The Judge (well red). But I went round the garden this weekend and snapped at everything that gave the kneejerk reaction; autumn coming so late there's not as much leaf turning, but that makes for more flowers. Just got to Photoshop, then choose.
 
AE35, it is a Christmas bauble? Or a shoe? Or a lady's booby?! (Clothed, obviously.)
 
Iiiiii...I'm competing with a photo that was not shot ten billion years ago. Finally!
 
I've been lax in setting up the poll again this month, but I will do so after work tonight, in about seven hours time. If you have a last minute entry, post it!
 
I found it quite hard to choose a picture(s) to vote for, the theme of 'Red' just stumped me a bit, Mouse's Ladybird, Chris' Sunset, Stormfeather's Berries and Alchemist's hand print all said something to me...

However, perhaps not as artistically discerning as I should be, Moonbat's Lego Spaceman, with the other colours just blurred in the background took me back to very happy childhood days and I could not resist.
 
Hello again all!

I have to say I'm sorry to have missed the challenge again, I've got a few on my camera that I just haven't had the time to upload and edit. Which is a shame, I thought it looked quite nice.

Anywho... I have at least got round to voting this time, and after pondering for most of my lunch hour I decided to go with StormFeather!

All very good pictures 'though people. You should be proud!
 
There were some really great entries this month, and it was hard (as usual) to pick a winner! My top three were Mouse's ladybird, PM's dalek, and my vote this month went to AE35Unit's beeny bopper.:)

Well done all!
