This was converted to black and white. I am really seeing a big difference in shooting in black and white vs. converting. So much better to shoot in black and white than to convert for so many reasons!
Great b/w Maggie!! So, why do you feel there is a big difference between converting and not? I had heard that shooting in b/w you didn't get the wide range of greys.
I think it looks great. Like Yvonne said, the pattern on the wings really comes out. So do you have a way to zero out saturation before shooting or how do you shoot in black & white?
@cjphoto Appreciate your kind remarks! Thank you, Chris!
@kerristephens Wow! Thank you for your comments and the fav, Kerri! Most appreciated!
@sarasdadandmom So much black and white photography, Terry? Thank you for your kind remarks!
@amandalomonaco Thank you, Amanda! The number one thing about shooting in black and white mode... you can see the contrast or lack of it! Thus, you'll take a better shot!
@yonnie Thank you so much, Yvonne! Grateful for your comments!
@skipt07 Thank you for your kind comment! Who told you such a story, Skip! LOL! That's so NOT true!
@janets Thank you so much, Janet! Really appreciate your comment!
@rockinrobyn Thank you very much, Robyn! I simply change my settings from "natural color" to "black and white" and everything in the viewfinder is also black and white, so I can see if my shot has decent contrast or not!
@myhrhelper Thank you, Kathy! The only reason to shoot color and convert to black and white, is simply to have the color version if you changed your mind. When you shoot in black and white, that's what you've got. But, it forces you to take better photos!
The majority of my b&w shots are done through the camera, I haven't converted many I am not that experienced with editting. This is absolutely gorgeous, fav
it's not often we see natural history shots in monochrome maggie, but this really does work well......interesting that you shoot in B/W rather than convert...i always convert !!
@phil_howcroft You are too kind, Phil! Thank you! This shot was converted but, I really do prefer to shoot black and white in black and white mode. I can see the contrast in my composition much more easily and it forces me to take a better pic than if I just thought I "might" convert it later.
