Thinking in Colour to see in Black and White
Introduction
We live in a visual world composed of colours and more colours. The origins of photography was based in black and white, and as such at least one step removed from reality. In our colourful world, black and white remains a popular medium to present images.Objective
To introduce a variety of approaches and techniques that a photographer can use to understand a scene — even before they raise the camera to their eye, so that the colour picture can be converted into a great monochrome image.Format
An interactive presentation of about 45 minutes to introduce the principles of what makes a good monochromatic image, the potential impact of specific colours on the result, and the effect of filters - which to keep and those to discard. Followed by a practical session where club members assess a panel of images to decide if they would make good mono images.A brief look at monochrome conversion in Photoshop (there are - at least- 18 different ways to achieve this.
To finish the workshop a demonstration of converting an image to mono is given, partly a reminder of the mono conversion workshop. By arrangement, other demonstrations can be given.
