Mono Monday with a touch of reds

Good Morning all I hope your weekend went well, its Monday and another week begins and for me that means a Mono MOnday post for me.

For this week I decided to go with somehting a little different, mono images but with a splash of color, some callthese color splash or selective color images, and I went through my unedited photos in my archives on Adobe Lightroom and looked for a few that I thought would fit well with this theme.

Starting with this shot by Fort Roman here in new Bedford and I did some light painting

Some have asked how I do the selective color images, and theres a couple of ways I generally do these, one is in lightroom and I adhect the saturation for all the colors other than the one i want to keep down to zero ie remove all the other colors and just leave the reds.

the other way I may do it in is Photoshop where i make a duplicate layer, convert that to Mono, add a layer mask and then paint back in the color I want to keep

This next shop is down on the road near the entranc eot the Cover walk the red line is from a passing car
