Sunday Shoot Sepia Tone
I think this will be the first edition on “Sunday Shoots” a new feature on my blog. I’m going to go out and shoot every Sunday or at least try. Then do some post production and get the shots online for your viewing pleasure. Each week I shoot I would like to have some kind of theme in mind so the images have a consistent feel. Today when I decided to go out and shoot I had the idea that all my finished images would be B&W when I started working my post production magic, I felt the images lent themselves more to sepia toning than B&W. So today you get 8 sepia toned images.
All the images were shot on my Canon 40D with a 28-135mm lens with availble light. All the post processing was done in Apple’s Aperture Software. None of the images were cropped. The sepia tone adjustment is as follows; the images were first converted to B&W using Aperture’s “monochrome mixer” with one of the presets such as “blue filter” or “red filter” depending on the image. Then sepia tone effect was applied to every image at a 0.7 intensity. Each picture was adjusted with exposure/contrast/brightness/definition/highlights and shadows accordingly. Please if you have any critque or feedback it would be much appreciated. If anyone has a suggestion on what the next “sunday shoot” theme should be that also would be appreciated.
A camera can be a weapon if you point it in the right directon….
Love the photos! And I love even more that you are shooting artistically again! You ARE talented and gifted!
I enjoyed your contrast on your “Sunday Shoot Sepia Tone” Your pictures shows me that some unknown objects in everyday passing make for some very dramatic sepia subjects. Well done! Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot Chris…Anything can be an interesting subject with the right light and angle.
