Black And White Photography Tips - Getting Good Black And White Pictures
These tips will help you be able to recognize good black and white photo opportunities and to be able to photograph and edit them for the best results.
Black and white photography is an excellent way to train the eye to recognize remarkable photo composition which is why so many photography courses and schools teach black and white early on.
As amazingly beautiful as a colorful sky may be, it is the lines, shapes and curves that move the eye through the photo. So while the colors can be quite beautiful, black and white makes the photo more dynamic.
Despite all of its benefits, black and white photography became less popular in the 70's and 80's because of the popularity of color. It soon became difficult to find places to process black and white film, and stores didn't always carry it. Now thanks to digital cameras and editing, black and white is back!
How to Recognize Great Black and White Pictures
Although choosing the best subjects for black and white is very subjective, many professional photographers will agree that the following types of compositions beg for black and white:
- Photos that convey strong emotion. Color can be a distraction, while black and white lends power to the feeling expressed.
- Images that don't have a full spectrum of colors like Ansel Adam's Yosemite "Moon and Half Dome."
- Low contrast images such as photographs shot on dark overcast days.
- Any subject with the lines, contours, shadows and curves that you just know will look great in black and white. How do you know? By getting familiar with a variety of black and white images! Just look online for "Ansel Adams.". Or you can just search for "famous black and white photos."
- Look at B&W photography books at the library. There are many places to appreciate and learn this artful form of photography!
Create Black & White Photography with a Photo Editor
If upon seeing a subject, you know it's got to be a black and white photo, then you could set your camera to B&W and take the picture. But once you get experience with using your photo editing software, you'll find that you can create even better black and white images by shooting in color first and then desaturating it in the editor. Another benefit to this method is that you'll never end up with a day's worth of pictures all in black and white because you forgot to reset the camera!
Check Your Camera's White Balance
While the easiest and simplest way to use your photo editor to change a color image to black and white is to desaturate the colors, this method doesn't allow you to control how the primary colors work together to produce a grayscale brightness. If you have good white balance in your picture, then simple desaturation may be all you need to do in the software editor.
Make Sure to Use Your Photo Editing Software's Color Swatches
One of the many methods for creating black and white images in a photo editor allows you to apply color swatches for your tones. Even though we don't see the colors in black and white, there are tones, and these are created by colors. Color swatches work a lot like the way color lenses work on a SLR camera. For example, filters in the yellow to orange range are flattering to the skin while green creates nice tones for nature pictures.
And last but not least, don't forget to share your favorite black and white photographs. Black and white photos look great framed and deserve to be on the wall for all to see. Choose frames that showcase rather than distract from your black and whites with simple clean lines. Black and white pictures look especially good framed in silver picture frames, gold picture frames and even black picture frames depending upon the style of the image. Hope you enjoyed these four black and white photography tips and have fun taking your next black and white photo!
How do you get Orange Spray Paint off Black & White Converse Shoes?
All the cloth material on the shoes is black, but the rubber is white. So far I've used bleach on the rubber, and Nail polish on both the cloth and rubber. The paint is down to only being about half as bad as it was, but you can still tell from 20 feet away. I don't care if the black isn't perfect again, but I just don't want any orange left on the white(I know, that's probably easier said than done).
Use cellulose thinners on a cloth. That will get it off the rubber no problem. You can get this from a car paint shop.
