Irwin, Irwin & Irwin

52 Frames - Week 6 - Complementary Colors

I met my buddy Irwin for coffee this morning to celebrate his 84th birthday.  He drives a bright orange Dodge Challenger.  When he showed up with a dark blue hat, I thought there might be an opportunity for this week's challenge.  Irwin is always my most willing subject so we worked this scene in the parking lot.

While I'm typically not a fan of selective color, it was the only way I could keep some semblance of my B/W personal challenge this year.

52Frames - Week 27 - Complementary Colors

I was on the lookout this week for complementary colors but had no idea what I'd focus on for subjects.  I was just randomly shooting photos of my grandson and some nearby flowers when the two subjects collided.  Given he's just weeks away from walking on his own, this image captures the essence of what's to come.

From a processing perspective, this photo had a horrible background, so I used my rudimentary PS skills to mask out the subjects and place them on a solid background.
