Share Tweet Share Spot Colouring - A Little Dated Now or Still in Fashion?Spot colouring is a technique whereby you take a black and white image and add a splash of colour to the dominant part of the photo or the part that you want to be “highlighted” as in the example below.This image was taken in the heat of summer in Southern Spain on a popular beach called Tarifa on the Costa de la Luz. We borrowed two models on this day for a real estate shoot to encompass the lifestyle and quality of life obtained from living in the sun.I took this shot from a low viewpoint to emphasize the deep blue sky and to accentuate the models’ body. In hindsight I should have used a ping of fill in flash to highlight her face as the hat was worn to prevent harsh shadows from the midday sun.This is easily corrected using Kubota’s Image Tools as you will see in the tutorial.I used a small aperture of just F4.5 to blow out the background by creating a shallow depth of field which draws the eye to the girl.The full Exif Data is: check Camera: Canon EOS 5D check Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm L F2.8 check Image Quality: RAW check Shutter Speed: 400th/sec check Aperture: F4.5 check ISO: 125 check Focal Length: 46mm check White Balance: Auto check AF Mode: One Shot AFHere is the video tutorial for spot-colouring.
