Seascapes from Portaferry

    I’m experimenting with duotoning and long exposures at the minute:

    I just need to get out there much, more and keep finetuning.

    Hello Luda-
    they both look good to me-
    Though I really like the top one,
    especially if I could have a little off the bottom-

    The usual rotations will be mentioned,
    although more and more,
    I’m considering doing it myself to see if I can get away with it-

    Good ones- lovely tones-

    Really like the first Luda, something special about it. It could afford
    to lose a little from the bottom as Joseph mentioned, but even as it stands
    it’s a fine photograph. Wonderful toning…

    Both look nice to me. The toning is really rich, and as good as any
    I’ve seen tried here.

    You may have a blob on your sensor near the top right.

    These are great. Good intro to the site :).
    JB is right re cropping a little off the bottom of the first one.

    Feel free to share your toning method for these :)

    Yeah, I thought about a bit of cropping but I always like to have as much foreground as possible in my shots (I alway seem to have the 10-20mm wide open at 10mm).
    As far as toning goes, it’s just made a duotone in PhotoShop under the “Mode” dropdown. I leave the first colour black, and pick light brown/beige for the second, then adjust the curves for each colour until I’m happy. I want to pursue this kind of photography for a while. Maybe get out this weekend.

    Thanks Luda !.

    I’m also happy to have someone else posting mono landscapes on the site :)

    First one has lovely textures and tones, but I prefer the second.
    The tiny teeny bit of space above the rocks on the left of the first one is distracting – I wish it either wasn’t there or there was more space.
    The second one has a lovely balance to it and is really strong graphically.

    Lovely work.

    Good point.
    I seem to rush some of my work because I’m so eager to get a result. Things like the cropping will be taken into consideration a little more.
