Thank you for that vlog Tom and the w3words location guide..Black n white or colour always makes for a good conversation, on the whole I agree with all the images you chose to turn B/W..I think in the harsh light you had B/W quite often wrks well. I think strong simple subjects work quite well as B/W. Where I don't think b/w works so well is landscape shots especially sunsets or sunrises..I have seen some shots of a wonderful colourful sunsets which has been turned into b/w!!..at the end of the day it's an individual choice and as long as you like it first and foremost thats what counts imo..you can't please all the people all the time.
Your video is very helpful and I do like the photo walk format and would like to see more as I have just subscribed. The photo walk format is a fun exercise in seeing photo opportunities and composition. The Land Rover shot is a good example. This may seem a 'well, duh' question but is converting a photo to B&W in post-production effectively the same as setting one's camera to B&W mode and composing the photo in B&W? I had, I think, a successful convert to B&W experience with two faded color transparencies where I could not get a satisfactory color correction with the faces and shadows. It was three of us ,including my very country great grandfather who was a weathered as the porch we sere sitting on The photos are much better in B&W.
Hi Mack, many thanks for your comment and for subscribing! I will often set my camera to the monochrome setting when I’m just making black and white photos, however, when photographing in RAW you can access the colour channels in post production, even after converting to black and white, which can allow you to get more depth out of the contrast by lightening and darkening the different colours. I’m glad you like the ‘Photo Walk’ format, I’m planning to share more videos like this over the coming months. Thanks again for tuning in!
