Black and White Photography

Black and White Photography

Saturday 07 June
Hunters Point - 10am - 2 Hours
Queens Photography Group
Logan Dobbs
Introduction to Black and White Photography. What makes a good Black and White shot?

We will look at the contrast and using textures. How does the camera see the image and how do we create Black and White images in a camera or in post-production. We will look for some good examples and set some exercises.

This is a more advanced course and assumes you understand the basics of photography and controlling your camera.

Looking at the world in black and white requires the ability to see beyond color and look at the essence of light and tone. We will practice looking for scenes that are perfect for monochrome.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    As dawn breaks softly over Montauk Point on Long Island, I set out on a journey that would become etched in my memory much like the photographs I hoped to capture. The air was crisp, with a gentle breeze carrying the refreshing scent of saltwater and the promise of a new day. Armed with my camera and a heart full of anticipation, I made my way along the winding path leading to the iconic Montauk Point Lighthouse that stands sentinel against the rugged coastline.With each step, the world transf

Setting up my camera, I took a moment to absorb the serene beauty around me. The salty breeze tousled my hair, and the rhythmic sound of the ocean filled the air, grounding me in the moment. I adjusted the aperture, focused the lens, and found the perfect angle to capture the lighthouse against the backdrop of the dawn sky.As the sun peeked over the horizon, paintin

    I love exploring Toronto, where I've been living for a while now, with a camera, or more often just with a mobile phone. And looking for unusual angles. This place in the center of downtown on King Street always looks different depending on the weather, time of day, wind... This time I was shooting late in the evening and waiting for the flag to straighten out.Shot on a Samsung s21 mobile phone, edited in an editor Snapseed/

    This shot was taken along with 3000 others images on my first ever photo shoot during Covid. I hired a model I had seen and had come to do pool shots with another Photographer and he suggested I hire her and conceptualize the shoot. I?m not a professional and had no props but I bought some fabric and I used my leaf blower to make that effect. I periodically go back to those pictures and rework them with my iPhone apps for varying effects. You can see more of my work on Instagram. That day creat

    Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.
