Black & white photography, is a fairly new medium for me. I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my workflow, but I didn’t know how. I think shooting B&W has it’s place, and lately I have found some interesting ways to work with it. One of the tools I think is a must have for any photographer, is the ND filter. I swear by the B+W brand, and am addicted to the ND 10 stop filter. During the day it’s an amazing tool, and 75% or more of the time I will convert these images to B&W. If there are heavy clouds and moving elements, it will give you an incredible effect.
