Greetings jepreto the sohib snap all, this time I will discuss about tips and tricks for photos with black and white format, a flow of photography that is very familiar among photography connoisseurs. Black and white photography has one advantage that other types of flow do not have, this type of photography has a "immunity" over time, making this type of photo more artistic as well as classic, dominating the character of the photo object, as well as radiating the "aura" frames. It is these reasons that many photographers prefer to "ridicule" their work, rather than display it in color.
Here are 5 tips for getting better black and white photos.
1. Portrait in color format
The digital camera produces a wider tone range in color mode because in this mode the sensor takes data from 3 channels - Red, Green and Blue or RGB. For this reason, black photos produced from color photo processing using a photo editor on a computer will tend to be better quality. Because BW mode in the camera does not offer many options. When using RAW and BW modes simultaneously in the camera, the display on the camera's LCD is of course black and white, but actually does not affect RAW files (keep color). Especially if using RAW + JPEG, you will get extra flexibility.
2. Set ISO As Low As Possible
Noise (small white spots that appear in your photo) will appear more prominently in black and white photos than in color photos. Use the ISO as low as possible so that when the photo is processed later, the noise can be minimized. Not only in photographing black and white, each shoot always use the lowest ISO unless you want to get a high shutter speed or grain effect on purpose.
3. Mendung adalah Saat Terbaik
Adanya mendung akan membuat kontras lebih rendah dan ini adalah saat terbaik untuk membuat foto hitam – putih. Kamu tidak akan terlalu peduli dengan warna langit yang abu – abu, toh dalam foto hitam putih tidak akan terlalu terlihat.
4. Texture Exploitation, Patterns and Lines
In black and white photos, textures - patterns and lines will be more prominent and more attractive. For that exploitation if you find the existence of these components. By photographing black and white, of course you have removed the other color elements, so to make an interesting photo required more impact.
5. Side Lighting is the Best Light
When shooting outdoors for black and white photos, maximize the shape to the maximum by relying on the side lighting (side lighting), so the fall of the shadow so very interesting. Side lighting can occur when you take pictures in the morning or evening.
