colour? I'm lost now...

fionaB · 29-05-2007, 22:32

mmmm the only thing i can think of is a slight blue dup tone but that may be my eyes cos like Jack i cant really see any colour either

That might bake a good tri-tone image. Using black and two complementary colors of blue to represent the mid tones..

Thank God! I thought my colour blindness was getting worse!

Right guys, Fionas right i have used a blue shade in the image i thought it went ok but wasnt 100% sure,i tried other different color & shades but nothing seemed to match with the rock formations they were either to washed out looking or just didnt look right.

Well, I don't think that you need the blue. Would be better a strict mono. And I would bring up the shadows on the rocks a bit. Then you have a grabbing image.

Hmmm...on my monitor it shows as a slight pinky hue to the sky and I think it works really well! It's a nice shot

simpbow · 01-06-2007, 20:13

Cheers skip thanks for that.

simpbow · 01-06-2007, 20:17

Thanks Angela, if it looked okay to everyone i was going to use it every now & again

Cheers Boofers to be continued!

I think you're all seeing things LOL. If I had not seen mention of colours, I'd have had this down as a straight mono and I think most of you would have too. If there is some blue in there it is subtle to the point of obscurity!

Ah well, the image works ok and the balance of lighting between the dark rocks still having detail and the sky not being burnt out is very commendable.

Cheers,
Rob

Cheers Rob thanks very much for that, i kindof liked the tint that was in it but wasnt sure how everyone else would see it.
