Excellent black and white photos always bring us a unique texture and charm. Today we will talk about some tips for black and white photography.

1, the early shooting color, the later turn to black and white, many digital cameras will have a "black and white mode", but it is not recommended that you adjust to the "black and white mode" in the early stage, and then start shooting. The "black and white mode" in the digital camera is similar to the effect of a filter, if you select the "black and white mode" to shoot, it will output the black and white photo after the secondary processing in the camera, which will have a certain impact on the quality and richness of the picture.
