[Podcast Mini Challenge]: Close Crop

view profile

chrismaverick is a group administrator chrismaverick  Pro User  says:

On this week's upcoming Podcast, new correspondents, Sick Little Monkey and Jessi will be presenting a tutorial on Close Crops. As such, we thought this would be the perfect idea for a mini-challenge.

Take a really close self portrait. Maybe your face. Maybe not. But crop it in an interesting way. Don't show us the entire thing. Really try to push the composition.

Stephen and I will look through the pool and choose the best photos to feature on next week's show.

All podcast mini-challenge entries should be 365 Days self-portaits from this week.

Day 144 of 365: In which I still dream of lips I never should have kissed

(This isn't cropped, just taken quite close up. I initially wanted to focus on the lips, and had several shots that did, but when I looked at them all side by side, I really liked the focus on the eyes to go along with the "dreaming of..." idea. Most of the ones that focused on the lips only included one eye.)

Pragmagraphr  Pro User  says:

I just happened to take a close crop shot this Sunday:
366 • 104 • Close crop

And I've done some more before:
366 • 72 • Gritty 366 • 27 • No title 366 • 15 • No title

I see that it's almost only of the eyes. Maybe I should take this as a challenge, and make close crops of other parts of my body.

Is this too close? Even I don't like myself that much to get this close. Also I need better light. This one stinks when held next to some of these. Maybe tomorrow will bring better results. Any ways...

ElBeardo2007  Pro User  says:

Day176

This is a photoshop technique that I have been having a bit of fun with recently. I copy the photo onto a new layer, desaturate it, and then do a levels adjustment to create a really high contrast black and white image. I then move the original coloured picture onto the layer above the black and white one, and set the blend mode to "colour"

I used the same technique for my telephone picture on the 11th of April.

(Oh, and that's a television behind me, not a photoshopped background)
