Topic: POW week 9: duotones

Yep, the good ol' black and white comes to mind, timeless. But it needn't be restricted to those specific tones so long as there are only two. Photoshop has some really cool duotone tools. Image>mode>duotone allows you to tweak the curves of each tone. You have to be in grayscale first though or duotone will be grayed out. This link may be of use to some of us as well. So let's see it, new direction for your color stuff or maybe you feel like going all out shooting black and white with colored filters and such. Dodge and burn at will.

A few guidelines:
1. Photo needs to go along with the subject in some way.
2. Use thumbnails for photos with any dimension larger than 450 px or over 40 kb.
3. Post as many as you want.
4. At the end of the week the person who chose the topic will pick someone to choose the next topic. This isn't a "winner," just someone who gets to suggest the next topic.
5. No critiques (unless requested) this is just to share our photos.
6. No sigs.

edit: I feel I should correct myself. Since a black and white photo is actually a monotone they'll be fine too. Sorry if I've caused any confusion.

^ Very cool.




My dragon and a tulip respectively. Since this is my first honest effort at digi duotones comments/crits are certainly welcome.


edit: Anybody else having problems with spaces getting added into the ubb code lately?

This is my first experiment with duotone.
This is the view from a hotel room in Sorrento, Italy.

Not my first attempt at duo tones but my first post in the photography forum so that should at least count for something. =)

I often wake up this this when I fall asleep at the computer:


Just a leaf in the driveway gutter:


I swear, I have the crappiest most instamatic digital camera in the world. Gah, I need to get a job so I can get some decent gear.

This would be my first entry in the photography board. I think this came out good.

Gonna give the nod to tikigod. Nice moment, dig the the lighting too. You pick next.

edit: Oh yeah, Jeni gets brownie points for being a dragon lover, even though it's not a beardie..
