Photography / Urban & Rural / Cityscapes & Skylines

the view from the building where i work at for Potiron (www.potiron.com.br) in the city of Campinas, Brazil.

having a "forest" inside the city was very disconcerting, in a positive sense. for lunch break, i'd go with my boss to eat at an Italian restaurant called Michelli's, and we'd walk through this park with tall palm trees. they must have been about 40-50 meters high. (130-150 feet for you Americans).

for this photo, i leaned out as much as possible to get more of the trees into the shot, and later when viewing the photo on my computer, i decided to leave only the trees in color (green) and the rest of the city in black and white, not only to draw attention to the arboreal center, but to contrast the trees with the endless cityscape.

in truth, where does the forest end and the city begin?

At first, I thought that your city was very white. Then when I read your explanation, I was puzzled all over again. How do you make all but one little piece of a photograph black and white? It's a very pretty city.

using selection and masking... from photoshop etc. most paint programs have that .

*PatGoltz Jan 7, 2005

Masking I know. Selection I have no idea how to do. I have Paint Shop Pro. Thanks for the information.

$micahgoulart Jan 7, 2005

just select the part of the image that you want to retain the color, then invert the mask, then choose Desaturate etc.

*PatGoltz Jan 7, 2005

No, what I am saying is that I don't know how to select! I can figure it out beyond that point.
