PADLOCKS - A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Here is another example of how toning can influence the mood and nature of a monochrome photographic print. The top image is a straight-forward photographic print (done in the darkroom). The second is the same print but this time it has been toned with a two bath sepia solution (again in the darkroom).

The sepia toned print reveals more detail (especially in the shadow areas) and I think warms up and increases the overall tonal range of the print. In other words it creates mood and depth.

Old Warehouse door, Kingston-upon-Hull, East Yorkshire, England.

    Thank you very much. But I think that you are missing the whole point of this. This is more of an ad/plug for a specific Locksmith and not really a valid comment. Therefore it could be deemed to be spam.
