The wine cave and the glass of wine, which is reflecting the tasting room bell tower, was taken at Wente Vineyards in Livermore. The reflection in the glass is not a separate image. I choose to use a nice complimentary color scheme for this image. I really liked with way the blues looked with the warm yellows and oranges and thought it gave the cave a very interesting mood. I wanted to stay with the yellowish hue as it was the closest color to chardonnay I saw, which was the type of wine in the glass. This image has nine sources all together, not including the duplicate image of the grapes. At first look you might not notice, but if you look closely you will see six other images. For some unknown reason I was compelled to include very faint ghostly like images of some friends faces that I just recently took at a birthday party.
The only difference I noticed about using the colorizing method verses the duotone method is that the duotone comes out cleaner without having to do other adjustments. When I applied my colorization and even when I played with the gradient technique I ended up having to go into the levels to bring out a more distinct contract. The image came out perfect when I applied the duotone adjustment first try. What I am really starting to think about Photoshop is that they overloaded it with too many ways to basically get the same final result. It’s just a matter of trial and error and experimenting to learn which ones work fastest or best for what your final outcome will be.
