CRITIQUE: Black & White, Dramatic Landscape Photography

First some may ask what is Dramatic Landscape Photography?
” Of or relating to drama. Like a drama in suddenness, emotional impact, etc. Striking; effective. Acting or performed in a flamboyant way.”

Here is an extensive and helpful article by Ross Hoddinott, UK, I ran across about capturing dramatic landscape photographs.

Ross Hoddinott is among the UK’s best-known landscape and natural history photographers. He is a multi-award-winning photographer and the author of several bestselling photography titles, including The Landscape Photography Workshop (with Mark Bauer). Based in Cornwall.

Rich’s Tip: Prior to converting your colorful masterpiece to a black and white image attempt to improve your final image by trial and error. First bump up both the contrast and saturation of your color image. Second, you may want to see the varying conversion results by adding some color filters. For instance, if your image has the element of sky, try adding varying degrees of red to increase the drama.

PRESENTATION: Creating Dynamic Black and White Landscape Images

The presentation will focus on creating dynamitic black and white landscape images. Tom will discuss his thinking of shooting landscapes, how shooting in black and white differs from shooting in color. Tom will also discuss the process of converting our RAW files to black and white using lightroom and Photoshop.
