Challenge: Duotones II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Vivitar ViviCam 5385
Location: Chester University Warrington Campus, Cheshire, UK
Date: Feb 21, 2006
Aperture: F/4.2
ISO: ISO-50
Shutter: 1/468 sec

Date Uploaded: Feb 17, 2006

 This is the North-West Media Centre, at Chester University. It's basically a useless empty building, bit of an embarassment really, but it looked nice today. I just sharpened, resized, adjusted brightness/contrast and used selective desaturation to leave nothing but the blue and grey. I hope this is actually duotone because there is certainly some confusion!

This probably would have done okay in the "Blue" challenge. But to me, this appears to be a plain old color photograph, that doesn't really meet the Doutone requirement.

This meets the challenge very well, but is just not that interesting.

Its funny in another comment I just wrote I thought there was too much going on in the picture and I said I couldn't work out where to look. Then I see this one and the exactly opposite, I want more! I guess I just can't be pleased

Clean lines! Very detailed and focused. Sharp. I don't think it will do well in this challenge though. Don't be discouraged.

Nice blue sky and nice clouds. Good to see a strong colour used.

Duotone
Duotones are images that only display in two colors. Like most visual techniques on the Web, duotones come from the world of print. In print, the more colors you use, the slower the production time and the higher the cost, so duotones were often an economical alternative. Duotones can also improve efficiency on the Web by enabling the creation of cool-looking images with small file sizes. Duotones are made by first creating a grayscale image and then overlaying it with a different specified color.
