2012
Michael H. Kellicutt International Juried Photo Show

Through a Lens –
Vibrant!

Vibrant and vibrate have the same latin root word: “vibrare” meaning to move rapidly and rhythmically to and fro.   While vibrate means virtually the same thing in English, vibrant has additional connotations as it applies to brightness of light or color, or as in how liveliness or energetic is the given subject.   “Through a Lens: Vibrant!” gives the photographer several options.  Vibrant could apply to a light or hue in the composition, or it could apply to the subject, as to a person or in a street.  It could even be stretched to apply to the process – check out the vibrance adjustment layer in photoshop.  Which definition of “Vibrant!” will you choose?
