Weekly Photo Challenge #6

Wed, 2007-11-14 17:29 — islemann

I'll make the challenge this week fairly easy -

 

Take a photo of a neon sign near you, then play with it using your editing software of choice to create multiple 'art' images.

 

Here's a nice sign I found Saturday night along Hwy 99W between Corvallis and Monroe, Oregon, in several versions: 

Sharpened, contrast adjusted, radial glow at 3pix applied, this is basically what my eyeballs saw.

 

  Same as above + increase saturation to +90

 

 

 

 Same as above + applied focal black&white filter

Interesting idea Michael!

Interesting idea Michael! Should be fun.

 

Seems unfair to Terry though... do they have neon in Hawaii? It seems like more of a Miami thing Laughing

Option for Terry

Hula dancers glowing in the light of a torch or three?

 

Heh - I'm sure there's some Neon somewhere on the island.

 

Part of the fun of the challenge is the hunt for the right sign.

Any idea of the camera settings used?

I prefer the high-contrast version, I couldn't help but notice that both images are heavily loaded with 'noise'. Did you gain up or use a high ISO?

I like the way the windows divide the image into segments.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Oh - if you right click the image and save the image location to your clip-board then you can paste the actual image into the forum instead of a link to the image.

I actually prefer the

I actually prefer the original over the high-contrast version. The window frame and wall are more visible in the original, and I think this lends some visual context to the neon sign.
