For the most part, a landscape photo isn’t finished once you hit the shutter button, as half of the image creation process is in the direction you decide to make the edits. Sometimes, if you’re looking at an image that you know has potential but you can’t figure out what to do with it, you should consider converting it to a black and white photo. This great video tutorial explains why and shows you some techniques to do so.
Coming to you from Photo TomThis excellent video tutorial examines the process of editing landscape photos in black and white. Of course, switching to black and white is not a universal cure for images with errors or the like. However, it can be a way to get rid of bland or distracting colors and get to the heart of the mood or message of the scene, and it allows you to better shape the tones in the frame to control the viewer’s attention. Next time you have a little trouble with editing, take a few minutes to try the black and white conversion. Check out the video above for the full summary.
