Description Edit: This is a picture of mold and such growing on the sidewalk. I noticed it after a few rain storms. The day was overcast when I took this photo and I lowered the exposure rate to increase the shadows and set the camera on the ground to take the shot.
The only work I did to it in photoshop was saturate the colors a bit more to bring out the weird but natural coloring of the mold. Hope that helps clear up what the photo is and how I took it.

I love the lighting, which brings a question up, I was wondering if you took this shot in the night as the phot suggests or did you take it in the day and manipulate it.

Just asking because most of your work is very dark and shadowy

kedralynn In reply to blackshift [2005-03-31 19:26:37 +0000 UTC]

It was actually an overcast day. And I just lowered the exposure time so it would be pretty dark looking. And I just saturated the colors a bit in photoshop afterwards.

I like dramatic lighting and shadows

I'm still really new with my camera so its always interesting to hear how people take there photos.

And I like your dramatic lighting

Wow, did you do the spots? If so how?

It looks really cool, I love the contrast, the colours, mostly a green picture, a part of nature.

kedralynn In reply to xii-iD [2005-03-31 19:27:38 +0000 UTC]

Nope. Those weird things are a natural occurance. Some type of mold that grew as a result of rain. I'm not sure why it formed in circular shapes though.

I love it when mold and decay is beautiful
it's really nice to see you doing somthing so different

kedralynn In reply to chaoticparadox [2005-03-31 19:29:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah if people would stop stealing my work, I wouldn't need it. Or maybe I'm just a wee bit paranoid. But for you, I can lessen the watermark a bit.

I like it too. I mean who wouldn't thought that mold would look awesome? I didn't until I looked at it through the camera.

chaoticparadox In reply to kedralynn [2005-03-31 20:27:57 +0000 UTC]

people steal my work too, I've even found people selling it on t-shirts and prints and shit... but that's just what happens if you post your work on the internet, besides I believe imitaion is the strongest form of flattery. for once I agree with *bionic7 's journal... anyway blahblahblah thanks for lessening it again I really like this photo!!

Taha that boy loves to complain. Yeah I know people will steal my work no matter what I do. But it's still annoying. What's worse is one time I told girl she stole my work and she tried to say that I was the one who was stealing! Still though, I've have it happen a LOT less since I started watermarking. It's a shame that it ruins the pic sometimes, but in the end, it means not having to deal with as many idiots. Asking them to remove the picture can turn ugly, and I often have to join a community before I can report them to it. Ok so maybe I'm just lazy now, lol.

I really like this picture too. It's a shame though that because there isn't a girl in it, not many people bother to look at it. But I feel it really shows my talents as a photographer and I'm super proud of it, even if it doesn't get hundreds of views.

Yep. Lots of mold. My mom wants to pour bleach on it and clean up the sidewalk, and I was like, "Why? It looks cool..." So I snagged a few shots before she got to it, lol.
