New York is much beautiful at night with all the lighted windows glitter each and every skyscraper. Being pretty dark that day, my camera lit up the cloud above New York, giving it almost an aurora look to it. This photograph I chose to keep in color. The warm highlights makes it seem as if it was take in sepia. I also played with Photoshop by burning the Hudson River and the couple of buildings in the foreground. They seems distracting. Any improvements? Yes. I need to get a tripod. </p>http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24399876595http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24399876595Mon, 04 Jun 2012 08:45:04 -0400New YorkLandscapeNightEdgyAuroracloudcloudyfogskyscrapersJoanna LirianoOutdoorslit upphotographysepia<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4vdx66bhH1rxpqsxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>With Questions</strong><span></span></p> <p>by <em>Joanna Liriano </em><br/>(West New York, NJ)</p> <p><span>Technique: Black & White, Indoors</span><br/><span>Lens: Wide Angle 28-224mm (35 Equiv.)</span><br/><span>Mood/Message: Mysterious, </span><span>Curiosity</span><br/><br/><span>I wanted to start with a white background where there is also a strong key light, so I got on the dining room table where the </span><span>chandelier lights my whole face.</span><span> I was wearing a dark purple shirt, and I automatically thought “CONTRAST!” This photograph had to be very exaggerated, almost unreal to add more mystery to the mood.

I was playing with my boyfriend’s evil cat, Tuna, when I decided to bring out the camera. The real work was tweaking with the histogram. I want his black fur to blend with the background shadows, and still have some light reflecting of the left wall to convey almost a Yin & Yang. Tuna’s white pattern makes a very strong contrast with all the shadows. Great job!</span></p>http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24033681749http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24033681749Tue, 29 May 2012 21:09:00 -0400blackblack &amp; whitecatdarkdramaticevilpetportraitshadowswhitecontrastJoanna Liriano<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3xk92g7hz1qagkvjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><u>Julius Shulman</u></p> <p><u><br/></u></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://regurgitatr.tumblr.com/post/22928663432">regurgitatr</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Case For…</p> </blockquote>http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24032989429http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24032989429Tue, 29 May 2012 21:00:51 -0400Julius Shulmanblack &amp; whitearchitecturehousecliffviewglasswindowglass window<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4sbj0DutM1rt4vgvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p> Diane Arbus</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://inspirationowls.tumblr.com/post/23994129343/diane-arbus">inspirationowls</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>diane arbus</p> </blockquote>http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24032756212http://pbmonkey.tumblr.com/post/24032756212Tue, 29 May 2012 20:57:46 -0400Diane Arbusgirlschildrentwinsblack &amp; whiteportraitsmilefrown
