We are used to seeing landscape images with vibrant, eye-catching colors, but of course, that does not mean you can't create compelling photos in black and white. It takes more than simply pulling all the saturation out of a file to create worthwhile shots, though. This fantastic video tutorial will show you how to edit landscape photos in black and white to get the best results.
Coming to you from Alister Benn of Expressive Photography, this great video tutorial will show you how to edit landscape photos in black and white. If you are planning to create an image in black and white, one trick that will make your process easier is setting your camera's picture profile to monochrome. This will change the rear screen preview (and viewfinder if you are shooting with a mirrorless camera) to black and white, making it more straightforward to plan your shot with the final edit in mind. And don't worry, as long as you are shooting in raw, your camera will record the full-color version, so there is no penalty if you change your mind. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Benn.
