My 2 Zone Technique Formula.

This is a Color Photo Born Inside  a Camera.
 
 I use the rules of third  as guide to determine where I place my colors.
 This is a Side view of a Photograph.
 

A,3=Fore Ground Top.	B,3=Top Middle Ground.	C,3=Top Back Ground.
B,2=Fore Ground Middle	B,2=Mid Ground Middle.	C,2=Back Ground Middle.
A,1=Fore Ground Bottom.	B,1=Middle Ground Bottom.	C,1=Back  Ground Bottom.

 
This is a Black and White Print Delivered inside my Darkroom. 

This is Frontal view of a Photograph or scene.   

X,3=Top Left.	Y,3=Top Middle.	Z,3=Top Right.
X,2Middle Left.	Y,2=Mid Middle	Z,2=Middle Right
X,1=Bottom Left.	Y,1=Bottom Middle.	Z,1=Bottom Right.

This is Hand Tinted Photo the Classic way.


This Technique can be applied to any Media. The colors lead the viewers eye to focus on certain areas of the Final Photo Art. I use only color film to create my Black and White Photo Art. Color films have three layers and Black and White Film have only two layers. I find that color films record the true mood of each scene as it really is. Reds are red, blues are blue, and greens are green. Black and white films records the tones and not the hues and the chroma of each scene as it exist. I use my color prints to aide in my color balancing process. This is the most exciting aspect of my 2 Zone Technique. I use Zone "A" to compose my Color Photo Art inside the camera. I then use Zone "B" to develop my Black and White Print.
  I have a simple formula that I created to achieve my color balance and color contrast of each final print. I use the actual Color Photo as a guide when I Hand Tint my Black and White Photo the Classic way. I use up to 27 points when I color my prints.
 The foreground = A, middle = B, back = C. The bottom = 1, middle = 2, and top = 3. I can place my hues of color in one the cubes to create unimaginable illusions of Grandeur.
