Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.A few tips for creating black and white, or monochrome images:
1. Use Black and White film!
2. If option #1 is not available, set your camera to maximum contrast.
3. Choose a scene that has as few visual elements as possible. The simpler the scene, the more power will be transmitted to the viewer.
4. Keep your photo in color, and create your black and white later within your editing program. You will have many more tonal options within your software, and possibly better quality, than using the "Black and White" option within your camera itself.
5. Turn off Auto ISO in your camera. Because of excessive digital grain (noise) inherent in black and white conversions, it is very important to keep your camera ISO setting at its lowest number (ISO 100 or 200).
6. Shoot in RAW mode if possible. This goes for all types of photography. RAW files allow for maximum flexibility, and if mistakes are made by you in processing, you can always return to the master digital negative.
