How to take good black and white photos?

I don't know when black-and-white photos have become popular again. Everyone wants to get back the feeling of the past. Textures of black and white photos can now be created with a SLR camera or filter PS.

* Use PS software and lasso tool to select the part you want to keep the color, then press ctrl+shift+i to select reversely, and then press ctrl+alt+shift+b or select the picture in the menu bar-> Picture->; Adjust->; Black and white, click OK after the dialog box pops up, the rest will become black and white, and then click ctrl+d to cancel the selection.

First, shoot in RAW format.

Many novice photographers are not used to shooting RAW files. Although the volume of the RAW file is relatively large, it can be fine-tuned to a greater extent later (such as adjusting exposure, contrast, saturation, etc.). ), especially useful for taking digital black and white photos. Therefore, it is recommended to choose RAW or RAW+JPG format for storage when shooting.

Second, use low ISO.

The noise of digital photos is different from that of film. To take beautiful digital black-and-white photos, the lower the ISO, the better, so that the quality and black-and-white outline of the photos will be more prominent.

Third, take black-and-white photos with high light tone, medium light tone and low light tone.

* Highlighted photos are mostly white, and only a few are black photos. This type of photos can give readers a bright, light and elegant feeling, which is suitable for shooting beautiful scenery, children, girls and so on.

* Midtone and midtone photos are the most common. When the black, white and gray parts in the photo are evenly distributed, the middle tone photo is a photo. At this time, the feeling brought by photos often depends on the contrast of photos.

* Low light tone is the antonym of high light tone-the picture is mostly black, and only a few high lights are white, giving people a deep, mysterious, strong and strong feeling.

Black and white photos mainly use shades of light and shadow. When the scene is layered, the effect will come out and PS software can make it. Single-lens reflex camera uses low ISO black and white RAW mode, so it is good to try it several times.
