4 Techniques of toning photos with Adobe photoshop
Yesterday we discussed 6 different ways to convert colour photos to black and white photos today we will cover toning. An integral part of black and white photography is toning, and with the advent of modern digital photography it has never been easier to use all the different tones without the mess and expense caused from traditional film toning.
6 Methods of converting colour photos to black and white
Black and white photography, for many it is the only way to shoot, I have always loved black and white and always carried a body loaded with black and white film. Today it is so much easier to shoot in B/W and the need to carry spare body’s loaded with B/W is not the necessity it once was. I still love to shoot traditional film black and white but you have to acknowledge the convenience of the modern digital camera.

Raw Poker a company that is all about funIf you are a bride to be or almost a husband you might of heard of Raw Poker. This company really understands what it is to party as this is what their business is all about. Raw Poker started in Australia, providing Texas Hold'em poker nights for bucks parties that's stag parties for us, from there it expanded quite quickly to include hens nights, birthday parties even corporate events. Not being happy with just Australia the company expanded into the UK, this has seen the company go from strength to strength. Now Raw Poker has expanded yet again into Singapore with their brand The Party Box, offering the same great party experiences. Nathan the company CEO says if you stick to what your good at and just concentrate on doing it even better you cannot help but succeed, KISS he says (keep it simple stupid) this philosophy seems to be working. In countries such as South Africa it is also referred to as a Bull’s party. So whatever you’d like to call it the celebration itself dates back to the Sparta’s in a time in ancient Greece when the men would throw the soon to be married man one final party. It began with soldiers toasting each other the day prior to the wedding. Effectively their friend was giving up his status as a “stag”. This party consisted of several activities that under normal circumstances might be seen as inappropriate such as gambling and binge drinking. |
