Camera Skills for Monochrome

Little knowledge is very dangerous. Corrupted knowledge is fatal!In my case,I have a little knowledge of photography but lacking deeply on camera hardware/software and colour behaviour.One of my mistakes was that I made an assumption that shooting in B&W is better than shooting in colour and later convert to B&W.It sounds logical but it is not true.



After getting some answers on WHAT to shoot,WHEN to shoot,WHERE to shoot,the final question comes hitting my nose on HOW to shoot before my fore-finger click the shutter.Below are the main points to be considered in using my camera with reference to the notes as shown in the above image:

1.File format

2.Black and White Mode

3.ISO sensitivity

4.White Balance

5.Exposure Bracketing

All the above are very technical to a water engineer like me.But if I want to be in control of the output i.e the photo,I have to know and manage these processes.The next phase of my journey is to go out and shoot.Most of the photos I uploaded were formally jpeg colour photos converted to B&W.

KB WALK

I planned to have four days of Photowalking around Kota Bharu #KBWalk ,but due to unplanned family errands which I love doing for my  mother and son,I only managed to have two days with only less than 4 hours.Herewith I shared two photos taken behind Pejabat PAS. To do justice to the town,I need at least 7 full days and nights to capture the history  and culture of the place.My first attempt had revealed a lot more for me to explore,discover and capture.Another missing dimension I need to have with me before I embark on KBWalk is the history of Kota Bharu. It has to be another time..May be after Eidil Fitri.

When I go photowalking with friends, I use more smartphones than the Fujifilm XT20. FUJIFILM XT20 iPhone 14 Pro Max (Smartphone) vs Fujifilm X-T20 (Mirrorless) – Image Quality Breakdown IPHONE 14 PRO MAX 1. Sensor & Processing iPhone 14 Pro Max Uses a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor that down-samples to 12 MP by default; ProRAW unlocks full 48 MP output   .

Produces excellent detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range—especially in daylight; however, images sometimes show over-sharpening on foliage/glossy textures  . DXOMARK cites strengths like vivid color, wide dynamic range, sharp detail, and low noise; potential drawbacks include clipping highlights and noise indoors  . Fujifilm X-T20 Features a...
