[Girl Photography Daily] How to choose color or black and white?

After reading the first three items, there must be many people who can't wait to turn their photos into black and white photos, but many photos have become black and white photos, which is a pity. What kind of photos are like this? There is only one sentence, that is, there are photos that look better in color ~ there are many photos that look very good in black and white, but if there is color information, it can add luster to this one. If there is no special reason, I think it is good to keep the color photos in a state! (The photos in this article are all owned by the author Magic Jolie.

In other cases, color photos can provide the beauty that this photo should have, and examples will be presented to you later. For buildings that value lines, black and white photos can certainly emphasize the effects of light and shadow and lines, but what a beautiful contrast between the blue sky and the khaki walls like this photo! Against the background of white clouds, these three beautiful and simple colors have become the most important elements in the picture. If a point is too strong and a point is too weak, why touch it?

The previous article said that portraits are very suitable for taking black and white photos, but in fact, portraits are also very suitable for expressing the colors of different races, skin colors, costumes and headdresses. Without this information, of course, there is a lot less story, especially if you travel in a colorful area like Southeast Asia, keeping color information in photos can give people more fun.

More importantly, photos can keep their functions as recorders. Many times, the color of the subject can let people who look at the photos know the situation at that time. If this is the case, the color information should be kept!

If the subject and background will be mixed when a photo is turned into a black-and-white photo, it should not be turned into a black-and-white photo. The dog below is a good example.

We can clearly distinguish the color of green trees from the color of dogs and loess when coloring, but what about black and white photos? The pattern on the dog is mixed with the light and shadow of the trees, and the focus of vision does not know where to put it, so it is not a good photo.

Black and white photos are also suitable for abstract expression. The following picture was taken in Hokkaido. At first glance, it is just a simple snow scene, but this is because the color information is removed.

In fact, the day of shooting was still the season of red maple leaves. At the end of autumn, it suddenly snowed heavily, and the hazy snow covered the red, yellow and green leaves, saying it was like a dream!

If you take such a color photo, it will be different if you turn it into a black-and-white photo, but I would still suggest keeping the color, otherwise it would be a pity if the color is scarce.
