Using Selective Color

I don't use this technique often because I think it can be overdone and look rather tacky but occasionally I'll see an image where I think it will work. I probably do it the hard way in photoshop...duplicating the image, making it black and white (using a gradient map or monochrome on the channel mixer), placing it on top of the color version and just erasing through to the background (the color version).

 

 

Group Shots at the Pumpkin Factory - Corona, CA

Group shots at this event were not particularly easy because there was very little room to work with. We had to squeeze everyone onto a hay bale. An itchy hay bale. Talk about a practice in posing!

 

 

Pumpkin Factory 2009 - Corona, CA

These are some of my favorites from the job we did at The Pumpkin Factory here in Corona, CA. We were there every weekend in October. I've done events before but this was by far one of the funnest. The kids were so excited about the different things going on around them!
