SHOOTING IN BLACK & WHITE


THE FIRST TONE, THE MAN LEARNT AFTER DISCOVERY OF PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS WAS THE MONOTONE IMAGE....The development brought us to digital stage and still it is the favourite medium of thousands of photo enthusiasts....colour cud not beat monochrome.

2. no doubt, colour presents the true representation of the atmosphere on the earth...but to talk from an artist's point of view, many of them still do not like the full presentation of the colours and turn to monochrome for solace....Monochrome images are more evocative becoz they rely on differences in tonal values, irrespective of colour. You need to visualise the tonal differences in the frame while composing ur picture because when colout contrast fades away, subject that usually stand out clearly from one another, begins to merge...Learning how to visualise tonal values in a scene...Balancing them in the essence of making great monochromatic image which consists of white, black and the grey as can be seen in the above picture of Taj Mahal---representative of all three tonal ranges..........gshroti@gmail.com
