Duotone

Duotone (sometimes also known as Duplex) is a halftone reproduction of an image using the superimposition of one contrasting color halftone over another color halftone.

See Monochrome photography and Duotone

Grayscale

In digital photography, computer-generated imagery, and colorimetry, a grayscale image is one in which the value of each pixel is a single sample representing only an amount of light; that is, it carries only intensity information.

See Monochrome photography and Grayscale

Grey

Grey (more common in Commonwealth English) or gray (more common in American English) is an intermediate color between black and white.

See Monochrome photography and Grey

Hue

In color theory, hue is one of the main properties (called color appearance parameters) of a color, defined technically in the CIECAM02 model as "the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet," within certain theories of color vision.

See Monochrome photography and Hue

Image sensor

An image sensor or imager is a sensor that detects and conveys information used to form an image.

See Monochrome photography and Image sensor

Infrared cut-off filter

Infrared cut-off filters, sometimes called IR filters or heat-absorbing filters, are designed to reflect or block near-infrared wavelengths while passing visible light.

See Monochrome photography and Infrared cut-off filter

Leica Camera

Leica Camera AG is a German company that manufactures cameras, optical lenses, photographic lenses, binoculars, and rifle scopes.

See Monochrome photography and Leica Camera

Leica M Monochrom

The Leica M Monochrom is a full-frame digital rangefinder camera of Leica Camera AG, and features a monochrome sensor.

List of photographs considered the most important

This is a list of photographs considered the most important in surveys where authoritative sources review the history of the medium not limited by time period, region, genre, topic, or other specific criteria.

Luminance

Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction.

Monochrome-astrophotography-techniques

Monochrome photography is one of the earliest styles of photography and dates back to the 1800s.

Nanometre

molecular scale. The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm), or nanometer (American spelling), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) of a meter (0.000000001 m) and to 1000 picometres.

Neutral-density filter

In photography and optics, a neutral-density filter, or ND filter, is a filter that reduces or modifies the intensity of all wavelengths, or colors, of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition.

See Monochrome photography and Neutral-density filter

Orthochromasia

In chemistry, orthochromasia is the property of a dye or stain to not change color on binding to a target, as opposed to ''metachromatic'' stains, which do change color.

Polarizing filter (photography)

A polarizing filter or polarising filter (see spelling differences) is a filter that is often placed in front of a camera lens in photography in order to darken skies, manage reflections, or suppress glare from the surface of lakes or the sea.
