Color photography with black and white film

At last, here is the other shot that I made at the same time as the beer bottles.

Paul,

And yes, there is some processing of specific areas in my trichrome images

....<lots of good stuff not repeated>

Hope that answers your question.

It does indeed. The pictures were just throwing me a little; typically, the stones would have a cast (even a very very tiny one) and these were so neutral. The very fine tonal gradation further increased the effect. Thank you very much for the explanation.

I agree. The colors (in general) on the images in this thread has a certain quality. The rocks in Sandys images and the straws in Joannas image.

The colors are both neutral and saturated at the same time in a strange way. I really like the "look". I can´t wait to try it out myself. Or maybe it might just be me, I have had a few too many drinks after winnng the European song contest in Moscow tonight…

Joanna,

Beautiful saturated color and perfectly balanced grays. Really nice.

Some of us still do it the old way - with a registration punch and film, and it's not just for nostalgia, despite what "Bull" thinks (misspelling intentional). If you've ever
looked at really good carbon or DT prints you might not be so thrilled with your
inkjets. But originally, tricolor seps were not even for prints, but for projecting thru
three different lantern slide projectors each itself fitted with a color filter. Never seen this done myself, but was once told by an old timer that the effect has never been equalled since, even by Technicolor.

...."IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE LET'S HAVE A RIOT OF COLOUR, NONE OF YOUR WISHY-WASHY HAND-TINTED EFFECTS" - Madame Yevonde
Madame Yevonde (Yevonde Philone Cumbers, 1893 - 1975) was a photographer who pioneered the use of colour in portrait photography.
In 1911, she took an apprenticeship with Lallie Charles, the leading woman portrait photographer of the day. In 1914, having only taken one actual photograph, Madame Yevonde decided to set-up her own studio. Over the years she gained quite a unique and personal style, as well as a name for herself with London society, as a premier portrait photographer. In 1921, she started exhibiting her work at The Royal Photographic Society Annual Exhibition.....

Isn't that the trichrome camera Sandy mentioned elsewhere?

Wow, that's some weight to hand hold !!!

[Struan Gray]

That was her Vivex camera. Imagine using it with three graphmatics for speed :-)

She obviously had a sense of humour, even if many of the colour portraits look downright hokey by today's standards.

Wow, gotta get me one of those

Heheh, it should be against the rules of LF to take yourself too seriously

Fantastic!




Does anybody know how to do this in Gimp? I cannot afford Photoshop.
