5 tips to have black and white photos !



I'm so in love with the stunning black and white photos.
They got very strong power that take me deeply into them. previous post I have posted 3  photos I was impressed of. Keep searching about this topic, I found an article about the tips to get black and white photos which might be useful for people !

1. Shoot in raw.
Some cameras dont give you that option to shoot in raw. however, you'll want to do in raw if its possible in your camera. Give Raw a go and you'll be surprised for the results in post production ! ;)

2.shoot in color.
if shootting in raw is not your option, shoot in color and do conversion later on your computer rather than doing that job on the camera as you have more control over the results when you have colour data work with in your conversion on your computer

3. Low ISO
Shoot with as lowest ISO as possible. The particular important reason is that the high ISO is the more noise (or grain) it generates.

4. When to shoot
While people only shoot in colour sitting at home and complain about thr 'poor light', it is good time for shooting black and white photos since may digital cameras prefer to shoot BnW images in low contrast situation. Dark and gloomy days should be your time to get some BnW shots

5.Composition
you need to train yourself to look at shapes, tones and textures in your frame as points of interest. Pay particularly attention to shadows and highlights which will become a feature of your shot.
