Selective color, sometimes referred to as color popping, works by turning an image black and white while keeping the subject in color. Done well, it creates strong contrast and directs attention exactly where you want it. Done poorly, it can feel heavy-handed and distracting rather than effective.

Are you an all weather photographer or a fair weather photographer? For many years I was a fair weather photographer. I would only go out when the skies were blue and the weather was warm. And that was fine for a long time. I was happy with the shots that I was getting.

  > To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
