This month’s challenge is Black and White. It takes time to train your eye to see in black and white. The 18% grey card is handy here as you can look at your subject and see if that would be lighter or darker than it, and so give you an idea of the tone.
The best black and white have a tonal difference. White, whites and Black, blacks. A great Black and white image makes good use of lines, shapes, textures, and of course lighting.
You can either create the black and white in camera or in post-production afterwards. You can play around with the inbuilt filters in your camera to get the desired effect. Filters lighten their own colour while darkening the opposite colour. Yellow or green can be good for skin tones or a red filter can make a blue sky look almost black. Post-production with a raw image, of course, will allow you to have the most control.
