This may seem like an easy one for all you photoshop buffs, but I've always wanted to learn how to do the stereotypical "Red Rose, Black and White Background" shot since watching The Wizard of Oz as a little kid. The scene where Dorothy steps into colour for the first time is still amazing to me!
Seeing as how the weather ruined my outdoor plans today [Tornado reference? Perhaps this was meant to be...], I decided to teach myself how to do it!
I tried three variations of tonal balances (super bright, levelled, and subdued), and I think they all work pretty well for their subject matter.
All three have an ISO of 100, but the shutter speeds and aperture change for each one (heels being the brightest, the basket purse being the darkest). I also played with the depth of field in each one, to add focus to the main element.
Overall this experiment helped me find my courage to play with colour, as well as growing my brains and making me heart photoshop a little more. Nothing like feeling more at home with technology.
