How does Leica x2 take black and white photos?

In black-and-white photography, contrast intensity is one of the most important factors that affect the effect of the whole picture, because in black-and-white photography, it is impossible to shoot the subject separately by color. Contrast is to find better composition lines. Although it is not necessary to look for a strong contrast in every shooting process, lovers of black and white photos must understand this, and the contrast of shooting scenes will also have a certain impact on the photos.

Attention light source

Positive light can increase the contrast of the picture, while photometry can easily show the texture of the object. Light from a single direction can produce shadows. Proper use of light can add luster to black and white photos, and improper use of light will disturb the theme of the work. Beginners must pay attention to this.

Look for contours and patterns

Because color will distract the photographer's attention, the texture will become less obvious in color, but in black and white photography, the outline and pattern will be highlighted and refined, so we should pay attention to whether the texture and pattern in composition are prominent.

Looking for a dynamic sky

If you often feel that your black-and-white photos are too monotonous in the sky, this tip will give you some help. When taking black-and-white landscape photos, we must pay attention to looking for a dynamic sky, not a single color. For example, grasping the strewn at random tension between clouds is like a patchwork terrace. When the storm comes, the sky is gloomy, which improves the contrast with the ground height. Keep the details in the photo, of course, you can find the right shooting time according to your own feelings and themes.

Shoot a silhouette

Therefore, novices may wish to try black-and-white shooting and take a silhouette, which can also achieve very unique results.
