Great presentation. I have watched tons of videos on this subject, with lots of technical explanations, on taking the black and white pictures and on the post processing. I appreciate your easy way to explain and present the subject.
Thank you for the kind words! I’m really glad you found the presentation helpful and that the explanations were easy to follow. It’s always my goal to make these topics more approachable and practical, so your feedback means a lot. If you have any other questions or topics you’d like to explore, feel free to let me know!
Really a helpful video, thank you! Only the music in the background, which contributes nothing to the content, is a bit ‘annoying’ in the long run... Health and peace and always ‘good light’, Lutz
Excellent video ever since the Joshua tree album came out with BandW cover art. I have been wanting to know HOW to get there and your video has helped me see the images in my mind. Thanks
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the content. Regarding the Leica M6, I definitely hope I get an opportunity to try out black and white film photography to see how it differs from digital!!
Thanks and thought provoking. I will be in Namibia in March and the dessert scapes and intense light might provide intersting opportunitiesa. My 2 primes will be Fuji APSC 8mm and 23mm. I have the NIK filters so any thoughts on using the Silver Efex LR plugin?
Thanks for the comment, Martin! Namibia sounds like an amazing place for black-and-white photography, especially with the intense light and unique desert landscapes. I have to admit, I’m not familiar with the Fuji APSC primes or the Silver Efex plugin you mentioned, but they sound like powerful tools for the kind of work you’re planning. I’d love to hear how they perform and see the results from your trip-sounds like a fantastic opportunity to capture something really special!

Hi, great video. What about editing the raw file in color before converting it to black and white? I would appreciate your opinion on this matter. Thank you.
Thank you for your question! Editing the RAW file in color before converting it to black and white is actually a fantastic approach. By working in color initially, you have more control over elements like contrast, exposure, and tonality. Color adjustments, such as modifying the hues, saturation, and luminance of individual colors, will allow you to fine-tune how those tones translate when you finally convert to black and white. For example, if you increase the luminance of blues in a color edit, those areas will become brighter in the final black-and-white image. This method can really help bring out details and depth that might not be as apparent if you start with the image already in black and white. So, in short, editing in color gives you greater flexibility and precision before making that final conversion. Let me know if you need any more insight on this process!
@@providencephotographydfw Thank you for the excellent explanation. I typically do that as well, starting with color editing and then converting to black and white. You've gained a new subscriber. Thank you.
Thank you so much for subscribing! If you ever have more questions or thoughts, feel free to reach out. I appreciate your support and look forward to connecting more!
I don’t like to edit my images. Plus I like to see the images in B&W in real time. My camera gives me a choice of different profiles. I shoot in jpeg. An alternative is to shoot in jpeg and raw. This way I’m seeing the image in B&W plus get a color negative. The best of both worlds. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
That’s a great solution! Shooting in both JPEG and RAW gives you so much versatility. You get the convenience of ready-to-use JPEGs with your preferred B&W look, while the RAW files act as a safety net in case you want to experiment with editing later or need a color version. It’s definitely the best of both worlds and keeps your options open!
Fantastic video! You have such a great presentation style, I could watch hours of tutorials made by you!
