Now In Colour: Rechromatic II


When looking for early photographic examples to colourize, I think John Herschel deserves a tip of the hat.

Rechromatic


After viewing examples on smashingpicture.com that Bud had posted, I decided I had to try adding colour to black and white photos. I think the process can be complex when getting into highly detailed work (particularly in making hair appear natural), but for the moment, I've decided to make my firsts relatively simple. Although I must admit I'm particularly happy with this one, in part because of the framing.
