Details is the key to black and white photo

The beautiful scenery of the black and white is extremely important aspect of work details. We usually also called hierarchy. According to the theory of Adams, good scenery, which should include the level of the 11 different gray areas, means the 11 steps from black to white, have more levels of work will be more able to bear or endure look. Because of the color itself can produce certain interference of light and shadow, so, after we handle into black and white, it can better focus on the tone of the piece.

Rich level also represents the level of the light, so light than the bigger of the two scenarios for multi-level show. When we met in a scene, black-and-white film can use camera to judge the whole picture of the light, then according to the light condition to decide how to do.

Using the decisive moment

Good weather to multi-select have cloud: crisp fall season, there is cloud find a good time, in the sun by west scenery will have more surprise than sunny day at noon, the sun at 45 degree Angle object can present a more detail and colour.
