Tips for Black and White Photography<\/p>\n
You know those dull gray winter days when you feel like staying in bed for the day? Pick up your camera and go for a black and white shoot! Those grey days are perfect for black and white photography.<\/p>\n
1. Look for contrast.
\nThe world looks differently in black and white. When you learn to \u2018see\u2019 in black and white you\u2019ll easily pick out the situations that are perfect for black and white photography<\/p>\n
2. Use a polarizer.
\nPay extra attention to the lighting \u2013 because black and white photographs generally show more contrast than colour ones, if you don\u2019t get the lighting exactly right they can appear too dark or washed out.<\/p>\n
3. Look for patterns.
\nBy using black and white, images of patterns are far more compelling. Shapes cast shadows that bring out the shape of a subject. Without colour a black-and-white image is reliant on texture, form and shape. As you go about your photographic business, train your brain and eye to disregard the colour information and instead concentrate on the shapes and light within the frame.<\/p>\n
4. Long exposures love black and white.
\nLong exposure photography can create dynamic, surreal images full of motion. This fashionable technique amongst landscape and black and white photographers is characterized by simple composition and exposures up to several minutes long that blur any moving elements like water or clouds.<\/p>\n
5. Give your photo some Silver Effex.
\nSilver Effex Pro 2 is a Photoshop or Lightroom plugin that does one thing\u2013make black and white photos look incredible.<\/p>\n
6. Shoot at your lowest ISO setting
\nI\u2019d recommend on using the lowest possible ISO setting when taking your shots. Lower the ISO to the lowest setting possible for your standard black and white photography. A tripod is highly recommended when using low-speed photography unless the photographer has an extremely steady hand for slightly longer exposure times.<\/p>\n
7. Practice!
\nThe more you train your eye to see in black and white the better your images will be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
