Photo gallery: Behind Lens – Shades of Grey

Some subjects can be more interesting to photograph in black-and-white. On a recent photo shoot, I changed the settings on my camera to capture grey-scale images instead of color. But I also used RAW capture on my camera, which enabled me to capture a color file at the same time. Compare the two versions in this photo gallery.

I chose a black-and-white camera setting while shooting several subjects, including members of The Steel Wheels, at the recent Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield. While just a personal preference, I preferred the monochrome documentation for its simplicity and emphasis on shapes and tones.

I chose a black-and-white camera setting while shooting several subjects at the recent Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield. While just a personal preference, I preferred the monochrome documentation especially in extremely low light situations for its simplicity and emphasis on shapes and tones.

I preferred the monochrome documentation under mixed lighting and for its simplicity and emphasis on shapes and tones.
