Keith Cooper looks at the fundamentals of making a black and white photo from colour.

In this first video he notes how simply removing the colour doesn't always give the best looking B&W image. Fine tuning how the colours are transformed to tones of grey is a simple way of changing the whole look and feel of your B&W image

Part of a series of videos looking at digital B&W photography from camera to print.
