LR Black and white photos later experience

Recently I took a group of Black-and-white photos, a netizen message asked how the author of the late. Then share some of the experience, the author is not specifically changying black and white, so the emphasis is not teaching, but some experience.

First of all, I think black and white photos must use the source of black and white mentality to shoot. What do you mean? Source black and white means you have to give up color, can only rely on light and shade to highlight the subject and some details. Basically the source Black-and-white photo is to capture light and light, for example, you can find a place where the sun shines to practice, there is a shadow, dark contrast. Early filming is good, the latter only to play an effective role.

The author takes 2 pieces to explain.

Example One

Original:

Here are some data references (Adobe Lightroom):

Accustomed to filming the scenery, so every late always want to restore the details of the photos, the first topic is high brightness bit can not be exposed (small secret, camera has a function called Changguang warning, Open will show high light bit has been exposed) and complete the basic exposure steps, you can turn black and white mode adjustment, how to adjust it depends on your experience , but about the direction is to pull out more levels and details primarily.

Complete the work:

Example Two

Original:

Can be in the tonal curve, the point of the most light to drop a little bit, in the darkest point to rise a little bit, so it will be a little like film flavor.

Complete the work:

Want to take a good black and white photos to capture light and shadow, but also to take the mentality of black-and-white photos to shoot, to do more than half the later.
