Black and white photographs are a different medium than color and require an ability to see in monochrome. Becoming aware of the differences between black and white and color images, in both how they are seen and what makes a great black and white image, is the first step to capturing images that will work powerfully in monochrome. The Magic of Black & White, Part One – Vision is by Andrew S. Gibson, a talented photographer who is captured by the black and white image. Andrew is the technical writer for EOS magazine and he also writes articles for Smashing Magazine and Photo Tuts+.
The first in a planned two-volume set, Part One discusses what makes a great black and white photograph, what to look for when learning to see in monochrome, elements of a black and white image, and potential subjects for black and white photographs. Part Two will examine the means of creating the black and white image in the digital darkroom. The Magic of Black & White, Part One, is a massive 58-page downloadable PDF ebook and you guessed it, it’s still only $5.00USD.
