Originally posted by ChristianRock I think the contrast is perfect. I'm not a fan of the super-contrasty look.
I'm enjoying the look of your B&W pictures by the way, I like some contrast(*) but I also like a natural look that preserves the midtones and you seem to look for that as well. I see you use Lightroom, do you just use that or do you process with plugins?
(*) My reference for black and white photography is Clyde Butcher...
Thanks a lot
I love b&w
I always add contrast, texture and clarity but my starting point are the black and white profiles. Sometimes I fiddle with tone curves but I need more practice. I am using light room cc on my tablet so don't have the control I would like. Clyde butcher is new to me but he is exactly where I want to be with the look and style
as for continuing, I love B&W and may make it my thing lolol to that end, next month is exclusively black and white for me
the plan is to get use to seeing in mono. I know it won't get the likes in my photographic society but I never shot for likes and my arbiter is me
although, I can be a right *@#₹&%*! Lol
