    Good comment on the long exposure with B&W. It made me realize that, though I'm usually not a big fan of long exposure with moving water in color (I like to see the details), I love and probably prefer longer exposure with a B&W image.

    My favorite was the stacked image with the daisies in the foreground. Well done. Appreciate how you described your compositional strategy to make the light play work. Thanks

    You have inspired me to go out and take B&W photos and see what I can achieve stepping away from colour photos. I would be a good project for me while we have blue uninteresting skies.

    Back in the days of film there was a thing called I think a pan view filter, a sort of dark mauve gel, looking through it took most of the colour out so you could "see" how it would look (roughly). That said after many years shooting BW you get a pretty good idea what will work anyway.
    Modern digital make it much easier.

  • @RikMaxSpeed

    I set my camera to B&W even when shooting in colour (raw), it helps see the scene differently to focus on composition and contrast.

  • @lphilpot01

    That second location was really interesting! What caught my eye as well was the pair of little triangular peaks poking just above the horizon to the right. Maybe a telephoto target? Interesting video.

    • @ian_worth
      @ian_worth  Před rokem

      Its all part of the military firing range Len, its only open to the public at certain times. I'm not sure if those triangles are something to do with targets. It's very interesting up there 👍

    Hi Ian - I don't know that I learned anything here, but I very much enjoy your videos. They are well crafted and provide lots of good tips. I would say 50% of the images I shoot are monochrome, 40% partial colour and about 10% colour. The partial colour picture mode in my OM System and Olympus cameras enables me to capture only part of the the colour spectrum and what is not captured in colour is seen in monochrome. This I find works great in some situations, particularly under soft diffuse light here in the woodlands in SE Australia. I also shoot both JPEG and RAW. I shoot JPEG to remind me of what my intention was when I took the image. As you say, different picture modes - and I would say along with the ability to use different aspect ratios - are two great features of modern digital cameras.

    Love black& white, but I usually use filters to shoot these photos, like black mist from Kase, B+W. They can bring more cinematic feel.

    Interesting video, thanks for the tip on luminance in Lightroom. I moved to Digital in 2018 and shot b&w film vast majority of the time since I started photography in circa 1981. Moving to digital I kept shooting b&w for a while, but now I’m enjoying shooting in colour. But still, b&w creeps into my images 😂

    Hi Ian, what L bracket are you using? Didn’t see it on your gear list. Looks like it doesn’t block the screen flip and you have access to the inputs. Thanks

    • @ian_worth

      I made it myself, if you look in my shorts playlist you will see how i did ... 👍

  • @renoholland7090
    @renoholland7090 Před rokem +1

    Thanks Ian. When I want B & W I always convert from Color in post processing. Is there an advantage of shooting in B & W mode directly?

    • @ian_worth
      @ian_worth  Před rokem +1

      Yes me too, I shoot in jpeg and raw, the jpg shows me the black and white conversion in camera which is helpful for composition in the field. I then convert the colour raw file to black and white in lightroom which allows me to manipulate certain colour channels as required. It works really well, best of both worlds 👍👍

  • @garymc8956
    @garymc8956 Před rokem

    B&W when there are great clouds; UV filter vs boosting the blue channel in post. Any thoughts?

    • @ian_worth
      @ian_worth  Před rokem

      I never use a uv filter, a polarizer would work well to add contrast to cloud detail 👍👍

    • @garymc8956
      @garymc8956 Před rokem

      Sorry, I meant CPL. I was just wondering if using a CPL would yield any difference than the blue and de haze sliders. Basically whether it’s worth the hassle of using a CPL.
