Ah, we’re back up in a favorite part of the country of ours enjoying beautiful landscapes and great friends. We left fall color down in the flats and went up into the pines for a little R&R shooting. This stuff is like shooting fish in a barrel for me, it’s a matter of form, texture and shades.

Shooting in “flat” light shades of green and gray, the pieces fill into place for me when shooting black and white. This might be something your are really struggling with. Many write me saying they just can’t “see” B&W. I highly recommend if this is your case, that you download the trial version of Silver Efex Pro, select a whole bunch of images and just look at those images using just the Structure slider in Silver Efex Pro. You’d be surprised at just how fast you too can pick it all up!
