Black White Photography Tips
My son Evan is currently taking a photography course at his middle school. He’s learning to do darkroom work using black and white film.
In the near future, will beginning photography classes continue to teach basic darkroom work? Interesting question. Is it better now to start right out with digital capture? Has Photoshop replaced the black and white darkroom as the place where we first learn the craft of photography?
Some people without digital experience will say that black and white film capture will continue to be important. I don’t think they realize the added control you have with a digitally captured RBG image. All of the possible filter choices, for example a yellow filter to bring out clouds against a blue sky, can now be applied after you’ve taken the picture.
Uwe Steinmueller offers some black white photography tips.
Making your own high quality B&W prints in your own digital darkroom was never easier than today.
