Often I’ve described the details of my black & white film techniques on Tracking the Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s post features a digital photograph converted to monochrome in post processing using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a comparatively simple task. Working with the Lumix RAW file, I used the ‘Saturation’ slider control to eliminate all color from the image. Then, to increase drama and contrast, I implemened some dramatic changes using the ‘Clarity’ slider that intoduced a stark contrast curve before converting the image into the final JPG file displayed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not make this photo on film? All things being equal, I wish I had exposed a black & white negative, but in this instance I was traveling light: I kept my repitoire of cameras flexble and was working with just two digital bodies, and no film at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps next time, I’ll bring a single film camera with lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
