Tech Tip Tuesday:
It's hard to resist the urge to crank up the clarity and saturation on every single one of your landscape images, especially when social media seems to reward such craziness... BUT I don't believe that brighter color automatically makes a more memorable landscape image.
In fact I often turn that dial the opposite way to create black and white photos that are more aligned with the story that I'm trying to share as an artist. And usually in these epic landscapes its stories about place. Places that have seen centuries of time pass by. So this weeks Tech Tip Tuesday is about those times when I turn that saturation dial from 11... to 0.
1) Midday Light : midday light can turn colors into mush, but Black and Whites don't have that problem. For example when shooting snowy mountains like these here, the hard shadows of midday can often produce better results than the soft light at end of the day.
2) Landscapes with Minimal Color: When the landscape is already pretty neutral. Especially in the winter and fall, landscapes can be pretty colorless. Or when there is only one dominate color. So why fight it.
3) To Capture Shape and Form: When I want to draw attention to the shape, form and structure of an image, black and white is often best. When you strip away the color from your photo you are left with nothing but light and shadows. Now, these shapes that lightness and darkness make can turn your landscapes into stories about geology, time, wind, and more... and those are stories that people don't soon forget!

Also FWIW I like to play with my images first using SilverEfex Pro (it's free!) and then use layers in Photoshop to create the look manually so it can be tweaked for print/printing.
So whatcha got? Share some #bw #techtiptuesday images up in the #camp4pix feed.
