Black And White Digital Photography Tips

One of my favorite things to do is to play around with my digital camera, looking for that perfect shot. Perhaps the biggest perk I’ve found when it comes to digital photography over regular print film is the ease with which I can switch over to special effects shooting.

Even a relatively inexpensive digital camera will come pre-loaded with lots of great effects options. From sepia tone to soft lighting, a digital camera can do it all at the flick of a switch. My favorite special effects mode to shoot in is black and white.

There’s just something elegant and dramatic about a crisp black and white shot. Portraits look incredible and even landscapes can be eye-popping.

Unfortunately, learning the ropes of black and white digital photography can be tricky. Without color to guide the eye, pictures either come out spectacular or awful.

I came across an article the other day on Digital Camera Wiz.com that really explains what to look for when shooting in this mode. The black and white digital photography tips article has really given me some ideas on what to do to take my shooting to the next level.
