I have just started photography about a month and I have a question so please forgive me if it sounds stupid!
Why did you set up shutter speed that high for almost immovable object and then also raised ISO?

If you want to try some REAL black n white photography - maybe you should try a film camera and a roll of mono? If you want the loan of a camera and a film let me know how to contact you direct and we'll chat. I'll even process and scan the negs for you. Think about it!
In the meantime - thanks for this vlog - I'm sure many people will be inspired to tru mono even if they retain the colour RAWs, too. Best wishes from Wales

Really nice images but I find these close up photos almost lazy and impossible to fail.
I would like to see some more broad challenging landscapes.

In monochrome film photography, there were the 3 colour filters that worked to change nature light to create different contrasts in B&W. These were the yellow, (light contrast) green (medium contrast) and red (dark contrast) filters. (If you look thru these filters you can see how they effect your scene or subject.) Though you may add these to your digital negative in post processing it is not the same as working with the nature light when taking your image capture. In my college photography classes our instructor, a pro-photographer had preference using the digital Raw file for B&W conversion in PS CS2 Layers, were we would give attention to adjusting the colours to B&W to get contrasts to pop out detail as to Jpeg in camera that can be flat looking. I'm kinda giving my age away here as my course was over 15 years ago. From CANADA.

B & W is indeed not how we see the world naturally, so definitely takes some time to get used to. This is my preferred way for doing personal projects. B & W kinda lets you focus on shapes and textures. One of my favourite examples is Aaron Siskind, who took lots of interesting peeled paint photos. Very abstract-ish. Probably looks boring for those who prefer natural landscape. In the end, of course you need to see how the elements in your frame interact which other. Some scenes may look dull once they are converted into B & W.

Having started with a plate camera ,way way back ,then onto the Rolleiflex, pan F,tri x film etc I look to see if the picture will be good in mono.see the picture before you take it.
I remember that again past time that a chap looked into the viewfinder of the Hasselblad camera I had at the time and said oh it's in colour.The world then was black and white, my fellow press photographers only shot in mono .

When you select B&W - MC in the menu you can then move the down area which will give you a menu where you can select things like red, yellow, orange or green filter as well as sharpness etc.
These are obvious only applied to the mono jpeg. The Raw is unaffiliated.

I shoot B/W as often as I can. Sounds strange, especially with all the color in the world around us. That is where the problem lies. Color to me is, CHAOS. There are times color is so vivid, you don't know what the subject is we are suppose to be drawn to. The subject matter in the image gets lost. Like a collage of color. Every one has a color they are fond of and their mind will search for it with out you even knowing it. I guess that is why Ansel Adams is still very popular. For me, B/W gives the viewer something to look at, that maybe they have seen a hundred times, but in color, and now for the first time sees the detail and form of the subject. No color to draw your eyes away from the detail of the image. Only detail . Lines that were not visible before. Shadows that emphasize depth and whites that form the outlines. Clarity, like you have never seen before. Like your leaves, the vanes, outlined in light and darks. This is how you get a perception of clarity. I like your show and hope you have many more adventures. Bye for now.

Very nice reminder to turn on the monochrome mode. Like you, I try BW in processing but don’t shoot with it turned on very often. When I want a film look I usually just load a specific film in one of m film cameras mostly gathering dust. But your suggestion inspired me to immediately turn on the monochrome filter and walk outside as the sun was setting. It caused me to look at the scenes in my neighborhood with a different eye.

While you are experimenting with the monochrome mode you can also add color filters to get different effects like making blue skies darker etc.

I do my B/W in color when shot, and adjust the tone and contrast in post. Alos, try reducing saturation to 0 when editiong color images. Adjust black and white points first without color, then reset the saturation.

Why do you hold your mirrorless camera like a smartphone user? The EVF is of a much higher resolution (especially with Sony cameras). Also you get a lot less stray light on the monitor.

When I was a budding photographer, we only had b&w, colour was a luxury no one could afford and with the abesnts of color your images had to have strong composition, throw away the small format and start using medium or large format and get some really strong and powerful images, there is nothing better than a 5x4 or 10x8 image

The main attraction to black & white photography is the high(er) shadow definition. Black & white naturally shows more definition than color but because the options are plentiful while editing, I choose to get it right in camera the first time. However, I also use a film SLR camera on occasion and although simplier to use, there is no post processing/editing except for getting the exposure and f/stop right, the results are significantly higher than digital. By "higher" I'm referring to the crisper, true shadow definition. It's like " film doesn't lie"

Better than the way I started - 2nd hand Practica camera, cheap lens, manual focus, manual exposure & b&w film was all I could afford. Then hours in someone else's darkroom. Then again, a better way to learn than setting your viewfinder to monochrome.

I personally love B&W images but never shoot in monochrome (is that wrong ?) I would usually decide in post if an image warrants being B&W and convert it. I’m always conscious of situations that would suit B&W but just never think to set the camera to monochrome, I’d rather get the image in colour, as I see it and decide later if it benefits from being B&W. As it happens my best ever image (just my opinion) from the last three years is a B&W but it was converted in post. Should add I’m an amateur that only shoots in jpeg as I don’t subscribe to PS or LR yet, I just do minor editing using my iPad

I think shooting B&W in a forest is a really tough challenge for your first time. Maybe try general photography in the street, graveyard, urban concrete area, beach etc to get your eye in. With your 24-70 lens you can get a 105mm perspective by changing to DX format.

Not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, yet I have had opportunities with a camera that tend to surprise even myself. My love of photography began with a walk through McKinley Park with Malcomb Lockwood and Charles Ott back in '69. Thirty-five years in Alaska, ten years in Australia, off and on in Hawai'i, the high mountain deserts around Las Vegas, and the mountains and farmlands of Colorado. Years with a Canon FTbN and F1N. A mixture of Canon EOS, and finally landing on the M6 II after having everything else stolen. Your podcasts have 'reopened' my eyes to things I remember seeing and experimenting with, times with my nieces showing them how to see through photographer's eyes. Thank you for your wonderful podcasts, you make me feel as if I'm walking alongside you as you treat us to your insights and thoughts on photography. Keep up your wonderful work. Cheers.

Some of my own favorite monochrome images are of cascades. Rocks without moss or ferns around them can be a little boring. But push the blacks in B&W against rushing water, and the results can be magical, even abstract. I've rarely tried monochrome in woodland, but you've inspired me to try it in my next outing.

If you photograph in monochrome first, then your colour photos are generally better. You can always press Key V, in Lightroom, to change to mono or colour. I tend to edit in mono then change it to colour, if required.

I always use the b/w mode, accept I need color jpg, it brings the look clearer to composition, structure etc. I think it improves my photos in this dimensions, also when I mostly use the raws in color.

Dear Kim.
For me, there is only one way to shoot and that is in B&W.
Color is way too distracting for me.
And with B&W it's all about the shapes, texture, and contrast.
These are usually forgotten when photographing in color.
I hope you learned something from this experience.
Especially how beautiful B&W is when used properly.
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Antoine.
