I really like the richness of the B&W image you get with ha quad toning effect.... A trick I learned in Scott Kelbny's excellent book CS3 for digital photographers.
The shot is of a face paining in progress from my works Xmas party for the kids of staff. The face painter was excellent.
A little part of the web for me to talk about Photography, what I'm up to, share experiments, recent shots, hints and tips. To share my (limited) experience with others and to gain further skills myself.

Smile !!
I was looking through various folders in Lightroom last night looking for images that I had missed or that would offer an opportunity to try out the quadtoning technique on. I decided that this portrait would offer itself nicely. I'm very pleased wit the results and think it does the beautiful smile justice. This was a random and somewhat opportunistic "snapshot" taken in the car whilst stopped at a level crossing. You have to catch her unawares to avoid a terrible posed toothy smile/grimace.
Now I've got the quadtoning technique sorted I think I'll move on to another in Scott Kelby's book, CS3 for Photographers.

Flying Vizsla :Quad Toned
I've been using Scott Kelby's book "CS3 for Photographers" to help me with different post processing techniques and one I tried recently I really liked. It's quad toning to add extra depth and contrast to B&W images. This shot is of our grorgeos pooch, Jasper. He's a Hungarian Vizsla, very photogenic and a bit of a poser. This is one of his favourite tricks when we're up on "Smiths Lawn" polo fields, jumping over the fence.
