Forest of Green

Forest of Green by Nick Barker Photography
ISO400 -F8 - 1/125
I was slightly chuffed when I saw a similar copy of this in digital photographer magazine... (I saw it after I had taken it for those non-believers)..

It gave me a boost to know my eye is on the right course!

And it all fades to black....

Say what you like but there is so much more to be gained from a photograph once you have converted it to black and white and played with the tones and colour filters...

Obsessed with Black & White Photographs

Lately black and White photography has been the majority of all my pics I have been emersig myself in "tones" rather than colours. I have learnt that you can achieve far greater effects by using different techniques ie, infra red filters and amending the clour ratio.


Now to try and re-train your brain is no small feet in itself, the trick is to look at the subject in tone rather than colour.


Helpful tips:
Try setting your LCD on your camera to mono ( this will help when shoot RAW + Jpeg)

when converting try not using simple grayscale and experiment with monochrome filters and the channel mixer within Photoshop or whatever software you use.
