One Four Challenge – Dec wk 1

Hello One Four Challengers 🙂 ..and welcome to Round 2 of our challenge – December, week 1.

What fun we had last month with our new challenge!!

I’d really like to say thanks to all who have jumped on board with this idea, for all your efforts, experiments, sharing ideas and knowledge.

What did you think of the polls?  Did you get unexpected results or were the results what you expected? Week 2 of my images, seems to have been the favourite… thank you to all who voted!

Lets do this again!!! 😀

So a few things…

For me, the most important being, that we continue to inspire and encourage each other in a positive way.  All of us are at different stages in our learning.. some are beginners and some are very skilled.

**For those still interested in knowing more about this challenge, you’ll find the ‘how to’ further on in this post.  PLEASE READ the details – thanks.

If you’ve only just found the challenge and you want to join us – start with us this month. TAG with One Four Challenge and link up.

My image:

This month, I wanted to choose something different – something that I know will get trickier as the month goes on – so I’m challenging myself with this one.

Apart from flowers, this is one of my favourite photographic subjects – Old trucks. Love ’em!!

So here’s my first edit for December.

In the Shadows

Most of my processing was done in Camera Raw for this week.

Contrast, clarity, vibrancy, levels – the usual beginnings – if needed.  I then went into CEP4 and added a falloff lens filter to give the shade a bit more depth. Finally a touch of burning and that’s it for this week.

..and Now over to you again!

Tell us about your image and what edits you applied this week…. and I look forward to hearing all about your new chosen image for December.

About the challenge and how it works:

This challenge is about processing 1 image in 4 different ways over 4 weeks.

We will all  process / post edit (our own chosen image) and share a different version each week.

Process it however you like… and tell us a bit about it. You don’t have to show the original image unless you’d like to.  (I’m going to show mine in week 4 along with the 4 variations from the month).

Try new things, experiment.  Be as creative or subtle as you wish to be.

Each week starts again on Monday (Aussie time) and closes off the following Sunday (at the end of the day), so there is a whole week for you to create your post, link up here and tag your post.

This is a perpetual challenge. We will do the 1st four Mondays of the month.

If there are 5 Mondays in a month – we’ll still only post on 4.
