Vol. 04

Photographer and writer Shawn M. Tomlinson author of the Photo Curmudgeon column and books makes creating black and white and toned photos simple with this how-to guide. In a world dominated by colorful images black and white and toned photographs can stand out as something different something somehow more beautiful Tomlinson writes. To really work in the 21st century a black and white or toned image must be special. It must express something not there in color. There must be a reason to change the reality of the image by turning it grayscale not just that you can. All that said there is absolutely nothing like a truly great black and white image. The author covers the basics of B&W and toned photos including processing techniques printing presentation in eBooks and much more. This is an expanded and revised edition of the original eBook and trade paperback editions.
