How to reach this kind of B&W ?
Hi everyone, Please, could someone explain me how to reach this kind of black and white ? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid … =3&theater https://www.facebook.com/AnnaLenaHolzPh … =3&theater Thanks a lot !!!! Greats from France Jul 02 14 05:49 am Link Do you have "Dynamic Monochrome" on your camera. This may give you the desired look you are looking for. Jul 02 14 05:53 am Link I don't think so. I've a 5D Mark II Jul 02 14 05:59 am Link Film Jul 02 14 06:12 am Link Control your lighting with good settings and add contrast in post. Simple. Jul 02 14 06:16 am Link Thanks Others ideas ? Jul 02 14 06:53 am Link you can achieve this effect starting with the right light setting. When converting the image into black and white play with the red yellow and blue slider to get a even image. After that its mostly Dodge and Burn to set the Highlights and even out the image Jul 02 14 07:08 am Link Raims wrote: This is very simple work and can be done very easy with just curves and contrast .

Jul 02 14 08:21 am Link Several thoughts - How do you determine optimal exposure, and how and where do you make adjustments - in the camera or in PS? Are you familiar with Adams Zone System - more applicability to film than digital, but useful. Try experimenting with different color filters and histogram adjustments in PS. The results can be nothing less than astounding (ALL IMHO). Good Shooting!

Jul 31 14 06:55 pm Link The first one looks pretty straight forward - any number of ways to achieve it IMO. The second one - ETTR in camera then reduce exposure dramatically in post whilst ramping up the contrast somewhat with careful control of white and black points. Aug 01 14 04:03 am Link B&w is about color Two completely different images One has red/yellow luminosity up The other one has red luminosity down Aug 01 14 08:41 am Link Silver FX Pro 2 from Nik software (which is now owned by Google) Aug 05 14 11:58 am Link Natalia_Taffarel wrote: Like!

Especially with the second image since you're in complete control of the light. From there, conversion, dodge and burn and manipulating channels such as what Natalia mentioned gets you most of the way there.
