Gone to Pieces 3
June 22, 2018
I’ve had some second thoughts about the photographs in the Gone to Pieces series. Specifically, I’ve been wondering whether the glass shards are too blue in the original Gone to Pieces 1 and 2. I can’t go back and check because the dumpster in which I photographed them has had many other pieces of construction/deconstruction debris added to it, and I can’t see the broken window anymore. For the first photograph in today’s post, Gone to Pieces 3, I toned down the blue with the neutral grey eye-dropper thingie in Lightroom. Then I went back and did the same thing to the photographs in Gone to Pieces 1 and 2. I added them below. It’s interesting to see that as the blue goes away, the orange becomes more intense. I’d be interested in knowing your thoughts about what I did, and whether you have a preference for one version over the other.
