| Post Processing | January 5, 2009 @ 9:59am | I've been doing a bit of experimenting on post-processing techniques.
The first one is split-toning done in Camera RAW. It reminds me of the old time prints my mother has hanging in her home.
The second one is duo-toned and creates an even more abstract feel to an already abstract scene.
The third one has just had the contrast and orange hue bumped in the Camera RAW editor.
Please tell me what you think. Be brutal if need be. It is the only way I'll get feedback for improvement.
Thanks ahead of time.
Janet
Go ahead and play with the images. I would ask that when you post them on other sites (such as Flikr, Photobucket, etc.) that you credit my photography. I would do the same for you! Other than that, I'm E Z T D B W. |

| January 5, 2009 @ 11:01am | Hi, Janet. I see you're having fun exploring various tonings. I absolutely adore the "old timey" colors of the first one! Fantastic. Great composition, too. But I might crop from the bottom somewhat.
In the 2nd image, I see only blues. What is the 2nd tone supposed to be? Anyway it looks like it was quite cold when you shot that.
I love the 3rd image composition and colors and how you placed the tree with the colored leaves to the left of center. This might take well to the technique you used for the 1st image, don't you think?
Thanks for sharing your experiments. I have a Kodak Wratten II filter that's supposed to be a neutral (it isn't) density filter - 13 stops. By the time the 8 or so seconds have passed during the exposure, the colors have muted and warmed. An effect similar to what you got in the 1st image. You might want to go to B&H Photo or Adorama of one of the other big on-line photo dealers and look up this filter.

| January 5, 2009 @ 1:33pm | Great experimentation, Janet. My grandmother had a couple of pictures like the first one, too. I remember lying on the couch, looking up and pretending to be a pioneer in the scene. I haven't done any duo toning yet but should check into it. I see the second one more as a monotone blue than a duo tone.
I love the vivid oranges that you brought out in the third one and also, as Flo said, like the way the tree falls on a thirds of the picture. Each of them has their own positivies so I just can't choose which I like best. What you have done here, for me, is to inspired me to get out there and experiment. Flo is my other teacher.
