Many people like to convert color photos to black and white, but few people fully understand what kind of photos are suitable for black and white.
1. Long-exposure clouds or flowing water turn to black and white, the picture is cleaner, and the dynamic effect can be highlighted; 2. Architectural windows, spiral staircases, snow footprints, close-ups of faces, skin texture and other texture works, black and white can avoid color interference, highlighting the pattern and sense of line; 3. The background color is too eye-catching to black and white, which can effectively remove color interference and highlight the subject.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that the picture with a lot of high saturation and a relatively large number of complementary colors is not suitable for black and white. For example, the complementary color relationship of blue/orange, red/green, and yellow/purple is close to the gray scale in black and white films, and the color difference relationship cannot be reflected.
Well, let's announce the TOP5 of last week's masterpieces, let's take a look at their respective highlights.

The canyon itself is not very colorful, it is very plain, and the expression of black, white and gray is more prominent, but the lines, contours and chiaroscuro of the scenery are more prominent, adding charm and layering.

A frame composition, coupled with the composition of the guide line of the road, gives the scene a unique and mysterious spatial atmosphere, and the black and white film further highlights the texture of the tunnel wall. The embellishment of the silhouettes of the characters also plays a role in the finishing touch.

If you want to show a large area of the sun in the photo, you should use a telephoto lens to shoot as much as possible, and it is very important to find a camera position. Judging from the solar area of this work, it is estimated that a telephoto head of more than 200mm should be used, and the color of the work is good, and the reflection is beautiful.

The composition angle is well found, just catching the light on the little girl's face, while the makeup artist is a backlit silhouette, and there is a clear distinction between primary and secondary. The warm tones of the whole picture are relatively good.

The Ferris wheel is backlit, darkening the background sky, giving the whole frame a dark tone, and the exposure control is excellent. You can try to re-compose the picture, crop out the redundant dark tone, and focus on the details of the Ferris wheel car, which should have a more shocking effect.
