About this Event
Black & White has always been a great photographic challenge. We try to emulate great images from the past using our camera's B&W settings, but digital cameras take black-and-white pictures by removing the colour, and there is more to the art than just that. For example, green red and blue all become the same shade of grey-so how do we master this?
In the days of film, we knew how to, as we had no choice black and white was all we had! The Football team away kit is a throwback is that time as TV was in black and white and so North Melbourne and Collingwood would look the same.
Yes, I know we can do so much in post-production, but why not take the image there and then?
Our new three-hour class shows you how to set your camera correctly to take outstanding images and most importantly to create unique art.
The class covers
The Camera
Setting your camera correctly to black and white (Monochrome)
Use your camera's built-in filters to alter how the camera “sees” colour
Making a great Black and White Image
Just because the image looks good, doesn't mean it will make a great image in Black & White.
Remember we don’t have the advantage of colour to lead our eyes.
We will cover how to use texture and lighting to make our images stand out.
We will use practical examples to look for the sort of detail that gets lost in colour.
We will cover how to make blue skies darker to make our Landscapes look stunning
And will cover how to use our camera settings to make smooth clear skin on our subject.
Perfecting the Black and White Image
We will cover using software to enhance our image
Use Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to make the colour difference clearer
And use NIK software (and similar) to recreate the golden era of black-and-white photography.
