Messing with filters

This new camera is a thing of wonder!!! :)   I've always loved photos that pick out one colour and leave everything else black and white - you see it a lot in adverts.  But I thought it was some hifalutin trick in a TV studio editing suite ... But lo and behold I can do it on my camera ... whoop ...
I haven't the heart to cut the fuchsia yet although I can hardly see out ..
but I'm not sure I like it ... it's a very cold effect.  Still, it may come in useful sometime.   All you wonderful photographists out there can maybe give me some tips?  Pretty please?


Cotoneaster in full berry

Have you tried out anything new this week?  Do write and tell me.

    I didn't know you could do that on a camera either. I have always been fascinated by ads that do that. But I guess for the average Joe it's not a big help.

      I know, I can't really see a use for it either Jo, other than for playing with.

      Yeh, my camera's not that fancy, but it offers lots of different colour options too - only blue, or purple or yellow etc ... Great fun. Thanks for visiting Sarah :)

    An amazing effect and it does make your photographs look very professional and clever. I particularly like the one of the cotoneaster.

      I wonder is that what bees or birds see - just a target ! lol

    Hi Fil - love Fuschias - remind me of Cornwall .. and then the Cotoneaster ... but like you ... I'd rather have more warmth around them. However I really should learn how to 'play' with my camera ... and my iphone - I understand that can do great things too ... takes great photos .. cheers Hilary

      It's great fun messing around with it Hilary although like you I still haven't figured out the phone for photos ... they're always too dark.
      One of these days I'm going to get to Cornwall - it sounds so beautiful and romantic.
