For much of the history of photography, practitioners were limited to black and white. But digital cameras allow you to choose on a frame-by-frame basis whether you are creating a color or black and white image; in fact, this choice is often best made in post-production.
In this presentation, acclaimed photographer Harold Davis addresses how to pre-visualize black and white in a color world, how to find subjects that work well monochromatically, how to tell a story or "write" a poem with black and white, and the best-practices workflow for black and white conversion. Along the way, Harold presents his black and white work, shows creative approaches such as digital solarization and LAB inversions, and discusses black and white printmaking.

Best B&W educational seminar I seen yet.

I returned to monochrome when I realised that the great majority of my favourite images were in black and white. For fine art photography, I personally find it much harder to work in colour, especially in landscape if you want to move past picture-postcard results. Obviously, for other areas such as sport, documentary, architectural etc colour has more to offer.

Another fine video - This has given me many news ideas and ways of thinking about my photography. All the best for now. Cheers. Jim

HDR Lightroom image stacking ! A few good points but this guy is following the footsteps of giants and using a digital ladder to try to climb up to be shoulder to shoulder with them

@sword-and-shield Месяц назад

Mostly over processed and contrived, they are really just B&W paintings in the end. Analog was "taking" a photo vs Digital which is just creating an image.

I really enjoyed this presentation. It does give you a whole different perspective on black and white imaging. HDR is apparently quite effective at creating stunning images even in black and white. Well done, and thank you.

I use a set of carbon inks in my printer, which are solely made out of diluted coal in liquid in different concentrations. There is no color cast possible besides the base tonality of the carbon itself, which can be only in a more or less warm toned variety, since there is no single color pigment involved in printing the picture with this ink. For taking the pictures with the camera in first place, I actually use analog cameras with b&w film. So on that side no subtle bleeding of color into the picture either. I transfer the b&w negative (or positive, since I often reverse process film and with large format I usually do reverse paper positives) via scanning into the digital realm to be able to print them on my printer.

i knew the "road less traveled" was taken in my beloved Marin County, as soon as I saw it.

Thanks for watching!

Color may need to be shot midday also, depending on the subject & what you want.

This content sparkles with clarity and depth. I found a book with parallel messages that resonated with me deeply. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

2:50 - Step 1: Use a Monochrome Sensor. Using a Color Sensor introduces aliasing from the Bayer Array. Leica makes a Camera with such a Sensor, part of the reason it is expensive is because so few people want such a Camera; the other reason _that_ Camera costs a lot you already know. You might find a used Camera with a monochromatic Sensor, Kodak used to make such Cameras. Recently some Cellphones include a B/W Sensor and can use it alone to take Photos and Videos. Another route is a conversion from somewhere like Maxmax. Using a color Sensor and converting the Image is a last resort for best results. Once I heard that this was the way these Photos were to be produced I lost interest in seeing the remainder of the Video.

Unless you're an obsessional pixel-peeper you can get excellent results from RAW. Any aliasing issues can be managed with the excellent post software that's now available. If you want an affordable alternative to the Bayer sensors, consider the Sigma Foveon sensor, which is reportedly excellent for high-quality B&W. It's not a nimble system though because the files are so huge - more like using a plate camera in terms of user experience.

@joeyoliver579 7 лет назад

You have to be kidding me. What a joke lol If you want to shoot B&W, don't shoot digital, shoot film, and get a good manual focus prime lens. You'll never learn it if you shoot color and convert it to B&W. You might as well shoot in color on "P" and use your new found "artistic vision" (LightRoom)

@thesouringgentleman 6 лет назад

Or shoot in b&w mode, raw+jpeg. You’re seeing everything in b&w so you can respect your artistic vision while still having the option to salvage color if it works better on a specific image. You elitists can’t make use of digital and continuously preach your weakness.

@mypronounismaster4450 6 лет назад

Ha, What a joke is right! If you want to capture B&W, don't shoot film, use charcoal, and get good quality paper. You'll never learn two dimensional B&W art if you point a camera and push buttons. You might as well just download an image from the internet and use your new found "artistic vision" (a printer)

@jorgemoro5476 Год назад

Joey some of us prefer digital as some of us shot film because we had no choice. So stop being a preppie douche. You are not a pioneer or a photographer- just a wannabe.
