I've watched the tutorial the previous day and it's indeed a bit complicated
I was hoping that Gimp had a better way in doing this.

With programs special aimed at photos you can often make a B&W and give it a tone, Picasa for example does it that way.

Doug, Ken said the same thing on the first page
But I believe the definition differs slightly from which sector you're in however they all agree that it involves two colours or ink so I just keep hold off that.

GlynM and JudithAnn take a creative approach.

Focal length always stays the same so a 300mm 6x7 lens will preform like a 300mm 35mm lens on your 35mm film camera.

I think that's all you wanted to know.

This a bit extra:
The effective focal length you mentioned is I believe the equivalent focal length.
It's the same the effect that a lens feels longer on a camera with a smaller sensor or film.

Do you use different formats, if so then it might be handy to know that if not just forget it.

It blinks when the zoom of the flash is not wide enough for the focal length of the lens.
So 16m flash and 24mm lens is al right but with 24mm lens and 50mm flash zoom it blinks since the flash beam is too narrow.

I've a question, what's the difference between a split-tone and a duo-tone?

A good guide with all the things http://knol.google.com/k/pentax-p-ttl-hot-shoe-flash-comparison

The Metz 48 seems to be the best and versatile flash for the money.

Thank you Doug for all your efforts, hopefully you can put it to good use in the future.
Yes that's a tri-tone, you got white, some sepiaish and purple?

The lack of entries might be that some don't know how to make a duotone, others may not use Photoshop or something similar that has the option.

It looks as though a photoshop-based competition won't attract as many entries as one with a purely photographic theme.
Yes the later was to be expected but still many programs support duotone I believe.
Adobe have it standard in the Raw converter and I believe Silkypix and Phaseone also have duotone options.
