This photo was shot on a sunny morning over the summer. I pulled it out of my archives in part to re-edit it. In my Photoshop class we have covered split toning and I thought this image might be a good candidate for that. Here is the edited version:
ISO 200 50mm f/5.6 1/250

Split toning can be done in Camera Raw if you have Photoshop. Basically what I have done is first convert the image to grayscale. Split toning then allows you to bring a hint of color back into your photo. In this case I set the hue slider to yellow and bumped up the saturation until I go the image that you see. I then sharpened the image a bit.
Photoshop is not the only editing software that has split toning. If you are interested in knowing a bit more about the topic I would recommend this blog post by Sonel. I have provided a link to a post she wrote about a month ago where she explains in some detail how it works. She has also included screen shots of her process which are very informative.
This post was written in part as a response to the WordPress weekly photo challenge which has the theme, Good Morning!
Thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave a comment about split toning or my image in the comments below.

Nice photo. Interesting to see the before and after. Do you generally shoot in RAW or RAW + JPG? I struggle with how much space that takes on my had drive for what is at best mediocre images.

I do shoot both, and then I delete a lot after I have the images on my camera transferred to my computer. It does require me to keep up with cleaning up, which I am getting better at doing 🙂

My fave is the bright, sunny yellow one. I know Ansel Adams is a national treasure, but I still prefer colorful photos.

It’s funny because I am a fan of Adams, but mostly shoot in color.
