Description This is a photo of a couple telephone booths my friend Sarah took a photo of, while in Scotland, on her Field Hockey tour of the UK. (Lucky son-of-a-) Moving on....I saw this photo, and I loved it, so I asked her permission to edit it, and so I did. I very much like how well it turned out. I have her permission to be submitting this to DA. Thanks Sarah!

I know this effect is waaaaay overused, but with such vibrant colours, it looks soooo good. Sorry for being cliche and uncreative.

Photographer: Sarah Bisch
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland
Edited by: Me
In: Photoshop CS2

PLEASE comment. I want to know what you like and don't like about it. I appreciate a comment 10 times more than a . Thanks.

This photo always reminds me of being in the UK. I never knew there was such a warm response on your edit of it. We should sell it

The contrast of the red against the black in white is absolutely beautiful.
Cliche, smiche.

Gorgeous shot, and even though the technique is overused, it's amazing on this one.

Yes. People like my photography. I feel so loved. I enjoy looking at your take on my photo Ben. Sorry I took the other one in black and white. I didn't know any better. you should have never shown me how to take pictures in b&w on my camera. Check out some of the other pictures I have up. you may like them too. I'll post more soon enough. You rock BEN!

I added this as a favorite because i love these phone boxes and pretty much everything UK-ish but i dont think i would have liked it as much if you hadnt put your artistic edit on it. The red REALLY pops when the background is all b/w! Really good editing job man.

Yeah, Sarah actually took another photo much like this, but with the black and white setting on her camera. I actually liked it better, but I couldn't have used this effect with it....the red makes those booths what they are. Anyway, thanks a lot for the comment.

Honestly there isn't anything i don't like about this picture... Nicely framed.. Lighting doesn't matter cuz it's black and white. The only thing really is the red is a little bright.. But it could just be my Mac plasma screen..

punkie078 In reply to C7Studios [2006-03-24 03:07:37 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the comment. lighting doesn't matter in black and white film? it seems to be the general opinion that lighting is most important in black and white photography, because without the colour, it becomes to evident. care to elaborate?

i'm sorry if I in any way sounded jerkish there. I swear I didn't mean to be a jerk about that at all. I was actually just surprised by your comment and I was interested in how you had that opinion. I really didn't mean to sound like a jerk, I'm really, really sorry if I came off that way.

this looks like somewhat of a more commercial work. whether that's a good comment for you or not, that's what it feels like. i like it, and i think the effect works especially because of it's simplicity, i just also think that it could work as an advertisement or poster for something.

Lovely photo, I like the contrast between the b&w and the red phone boxes.

Just one thing to point out: in the upper right corner, just above the phone box there is a bit of wall that hasn't been converted to b&w...
