Photograph a landscape in color. Manipulate the color photograph as you wish to create your best shot. Feel free to combine images – for example, add a dramatic sky.
Now convert your image (with no further manipulation other than the conversion itself) to black and white (for those of you who shoot color film, a processing lab can print your negative or slide in black and white). Do your best in the conversion.
Print out both shots as 8” x 10”. Mount them side by side on 16” x 20” mountboard.
Try to capture images in the first place that have potential for both color and black and white. Look for a strong, graduated tonal range, from lustrous dark tones to brilliant highlights (but no hot spots!), but with appropriate degree of contrast (remember Goldilocks!). |
