Shotgun photography and background color #30494 03/12/07 04:16 PM

Looking though publications such as DGJ I see about everything under the rainbow, do some distract or not to a picture? If there is a color you like, and not shown, let me know and I’ll try it. This is the original picture with my white backdrop, the rest (linked to save space) are with a color background. PS: Bill, here is the picture you ask for. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color5-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color9.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color10.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color11.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color12.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color13.jpg I’ve removed some of the more harsh colors and with feedback will adjust or remove more. It's by Mullin, New York. Last edited by Michael Petrov; 03/12/07 06:37 PM. MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

A more muted green or red, is this better? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/mjpetrov/color8.jpg MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

I like cluttered backgrounds; baize, briar and burley is alright altho something of a DGJ cliche. I'm impatient so have gotten used to outdoor blue sky, black bark, gray fencepost, brown straw, green leaves for my own slapdash, get it lit now efforts. I always wonder what those bag of the day photos do to blueing. Do they use bandaids? jack
