The first one is straight off the camera. Second is edited to try to make it look as natural as possible, and the last one I converted to BW using the channel mixer.
My B&Ws never come out as contrasty as I'd like them to. I want really white whites and really black blacks but I can never get it to come out like that without losing alot of detail.
I want this! And this!
I'm frustrated that even thought I've got
lights now, I still have to Photoshop the hell out of my photos to make them look natural. Maybe I have the wrong kind of lights? Is it my camera? I'm psyched I get much better focus, I like how much clearer they're coming out.
If anyone's got any tips I'd appreciate them. Remember I'm using a point and shoot.
And I'd also appreciate input on my editing: am I doing okay? Is it too much? Tips?
