Sepia Toning - Photography Contest [51 entries]

Rolls Royce Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
66.7%
Contest goal:

Sepia toning is a specialized treatment to give the photograph a warmer tone and to enhance its archival qualities. Chemicals are used to convert the metallic silver in the print to a sulfide compound.

In this contest, your goal is to take your a photo with the sepia toning effect. Some cameras actually support this option and allow you to take photos directly with sepia toning applied. If your camera supports this, you can use this and mention in your description that no post-processing was involved. If your camera doesn't support it, digitally post-processing is exceptionally allowed in this contest. Don't forget to mention in your description that you used post-processing, and also mention the program used.

Good luck!

jawshoewhah: I'm assuming a photo edited is PS to sepia is ok but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ( 5 years and 3313 days ago )
Contest Moderator: correct! ( 5 years and 3313 days ago )
Nator: This contest is a 10+ are you kidding what possible skill is involved here... ( 5 years and 3313 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I was thinking the same thing Nator was. It's not really advanced photography ( 5 years and 3313 days ago )
jawshoewhah: However, not everything looks good in Sepia. ( 5 years and 3313 days ago )
friiskiwi: I guess we have to prove that we are really good photographers. ( 5 years and 3312 days ago )
UncleJimmy: jaws and friiskiwi nailed it on the head IMO, although sepia toning is a simple skill, the idea that just any photo will make a good sepia print is tha fallacy. It's the subject and the tonal qualities of the photograph that will be challenged. as jawshoewhah said, not just anything looks good in sepia. I'm certain we will see entries that are "flat" ( 5 years and 3312 days ago )
kyricom: Personally, I've always associated sepia with "old fashioned" photos from 100 years ago or more. I think the more "old fashioned" subjects will do well. ( 5 years and 3311 days ago )
k5683: some of the entries do not look sepia at all ( 5 years and 3307 days ago )
jawshoewhah: So base your vote on that, k5683 ( 5 years and 3304 days ago )

Howdie stranger!
