Two-colour technicolor

This week, I had a chance to try another technique which I can apply to my pictures. The results, it gave the picture a different 'feeling' when compares to the original one.


after treatment using Photoshop. The technique is called "Two-colour technicolor"

pics from my old CD (Melaka & Sabah)

Heading up the foot of St.Paul's Hill. These steps lead to the remnants of St. Paul's Church. St. Paul's Church was built by a Portuguese named Duarte Coelho in 1521 with various renovations added to the place throughout the 1500s.
Although it is now known as St. Paul's Church, it was not always so. Its original name was "Our Lady of the Hill". However when the Dutch took over Malacca and turned the church premise into a burial ground, it was renamed. There are still various tombs of Dutch noblemen found at the grounds for that historical sentimentalism.
One tomb was particularly heart wrenching. Written on the tombstone were the names and dates of family members who had past away within days from each other. Their names and ages were etched on the tombstone. Some were as young as a few months to a few years old only. The tombstone was set up by their grandfather in their memory. While this was a sad tombstone to look at, there were others that are rather interesting. Bearing skull and crossbones motifs, it will send a shiver down anyone's spine
