A Free Talk about creating Black and White images

Another class which I so enjoyed watching. Once again she began the talk with images that had been submitted by attendees pointing out how they were edited to emphasize form and tonal range. The next group she discussed were those that still needed some work with suggestions for improvement. She emphasized defining areas by creating selections and then toning to add dimension. She shared a beautiful landscape that when first converted to black and white looked flat. She followed it with the same image once changes in tonal contrast had been created. She introduced the idea of adding a shape/shapes based on the content of an image to fill with complete black or white. I think her class would have been appreciated by any of our members who have an interest in Black and White Photography.
