B&W Plus One

Long time no blog!  Its been a while, I know.  I've been taking pictures for the J1 issue of the newspaper and learning new things to do on photoshop, but finally our class got assigned another blog post!  The most recent thing we have learned how to do in photo shop is taking a photo; making it black and white and picking one color to stand out.  The assignment was called black & white plus one(for obvious reasons). Adding this technique to my list of skills on photoshop was an exciting one because I have always wanted to know how to do this.  This was so fun and actually a lot simpler than I expected it to be!  I chose the picture below of fellow blogger, Stephanie Hillin (http://ilovephotoj.blogspot.com), because I loved the look of her denim shirt against the black and white.  It was a nice pop of color and her smile is so big, it's impossible not to smile when I look at it!  I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do.

{I love this picture of Stephanie.  It is so happy and the bright pop of color in her denim shirt made this the perfect picture to use my new technique on}
