Duotone - An image printed in two colours rather than one (greyscale). Normally, black is used together with a further colour. Duotone is used as an alternative to standard greyscale images, as the technique offers a softer, more detailed result.
FYI, I have used Black and a shade of pantone orange for the above pic. Appreciate if you can comment on the picture, if any, instead of the title. Thanks.
Oops, sorry about that. Just did a search and realised that there is another photographic print interpretation: a method of printing an illustration either in a dark and a tinted shade of the same color or in two different colors from two plates of a monochrome original made from negatives at different screen angles.
Anyway, I would have preferred a slightly wider shot of the woman to show the whole headgear, instead of cutting the edge off. And the BG is slanted. Tonal range, however, is well controlled and pleasing.
Hi all,
Any comments on this duotone attempt for this shot? Thanks!
Thanks Chris for your comments. The intention was not for the subject to have eye contact with the camera.
Anyway, did some processing. How abt this:
much better. But try to bring the subject further out from the BG if you can. Cheers.
Thanks for your comments.... ha... very often you cant really control where your subject is placed esp when taking these types of shots... but thanks! :thumbsup:
i agree, you cant control where you want the subject to look or "pose" but you can control where you place your subject within the frame. If not just ask gently if you can take a shot of her. Hope this helps. =)
