00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:04,420
conspiratorial be talking about fine are
black and white processing easy to
2
00:00:04,420 --> 00:00:26,520
architecture images of examples and
touching onyx offer a fax in the process
3
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:32,380
either Michael Bush you can find me on
Facebook at facebook.com / byron john
4
00:00:32,380 --> 00:00:36,930
has had a Burnaby taking a look at
processing architecture images in a fine
5
00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:41,440
arts were black and white style and
style seems to be quite popular these
6
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,470
days and it's characterized by you know
strong contrast and using things like
7
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:51,480
long exposures and essentially
emphasizing so you know certain shapes
8
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:56,110
forms and Kennedy emphasizing other
things so oftentimes fairly minimalist
9
00:00:56,110 --> 00:01:02,579
style as well and two images that I shot
in Chicago and take you through them and
10
00:01:02,579 --> 00:01:05,759
initially from scratch because that
would just take way too long
11
00:01:05,759 --> 00:01:08,509
kind of look at some of the leaders that
I've created so that you can replicate
12
00:01:08,509 --> 00:01:13,060
the same general workflow and with this
one here to talk about it from the
13
00:01:13,060 --> 00:01:16,660
black-and-white standpoint from Silver
Efex onwards and then with this one over
14
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:19,410
here we're gonna touch on Effexor
15
00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:23,500
Nixle graphics and a little bit more
details restore the color version a kind
16
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,430
of build up to you to this black and
white person here so if this image
17
00:01:28,430 --> 00:01:34,520
essentially we have you know kind of
talking back to the original imagery
18
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,369
here then the images that but it's a
little bit flat just doesn't emphasize
19
00:01:41,369 --> 00:01:46,740
any one particular thing it's just kind
of a mishmash of shapes and so I did see
20
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:49,700
a bit of potential in this image in
these these lines are we have over here
21
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:53,500
they're pretty interesting and then we
got some you not going to sit in goals
22
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:57,250
and shapes going through here and
there's a nice bit of contrast between
23
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:01,069
the windows and you know some of these
later portions of building so much as
24
00:02:01,069 --> 00:02:04,380
you can see if we could have talked
about the final version had some to
25
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:09,160
clean up some of those those lines you
know really increasing the contrast and
26
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:16,010
much more interesting image I think so
basically we started off with a cover so
27
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:20,310
fractional a bit more detail in the next
image so you can just imagine a person
28
00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:25,150
she run my color image through Silver
Efex to get to this point before that I
29
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:30,380
also did some perspective adjustments
inside of Lightroom so it's just it's a
30
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:34,940
keystone corrections and distortion
correction just to get the verticals
31
00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:38,640
nice and straight and get everything
kind of crop the way I want to
32
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:43,180
so with that done in black and white in
place in the marina start building up
33
00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:46,580
from there so the next thing I did was
add this later here which essentially
34
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:52,110
just punches up some of these sites that
we have here on the left-hand sidebar
35
00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:55,390
image had to do that basically I used a
technique that you probably would have
36
00:02:55,390 --> 00:03:00,560
seen many many times before in my
tutorial go into the channels I cited a
37
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,390
channel that everything in black and
white electorate is picked at random and
38
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:10,800
I created this layer of duplicate the
channel data levels adjustment to bring
39
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,160
out just the lights and then based on
that I can commence like dad I can go
40
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,640
back in my leaders create a brain clear
the selection with white and we get a
41
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:24,950
century this layer over here so I can't
really see that too well here but
42
00:03:24,950 --> 00:03:29,459
there's basically some weight lines
within their just actually on the create
43
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:39,769
a new layer here feel that with black
and white that forget that approach just
44
00:03:39,769 --> 00:03:44,590
trust me that there is actually wait
lines in the only see that they're so
45
00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:48,870
essentially I did apply a layer mask to
that so it really only applies to the
46
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:54,130
site because otherwise it over here it's
not what we want to emphasize these
47
00:03:54,130 --> 00:04:00,650
areas of here then the next thing is I
added acres just just basically lowers
48
00:04:00,650 --> 00:04:04,079
the exposure on the right hand side
because I thought that again I was drawn
49
00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:09,290
by a little too much we want to
emphasize the side so that curves
50
00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:14,160
judgment just nothing too fancy
basically just brain from the mid tones
51
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,700
down in not trying not to affect the
highlights too much and again that's of
52
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:23,660
course layer mask just using a gradient
fill to make sure that it affects on the
53
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:28,860
side next thing is just there masked a
little more complicated as you can see
54
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:32,760
what it does is it brings out those
lines and more
55
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,039
and basically if we look at that layer
mask we see that the mask looks
56
00:04:37,039 --> 00:04:42,789
something like this and so am I not
starting from scratch because to create
57
00:04:42,789 --> 00:04:46,270
these selections did take a little bit
of a little bit of time I just use the
58
00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:49,220
mental and I made selections around keys
59
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:53,640
lines over here so that I can bring them
out a lot more within its grip
60
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,120
adjustments as you can see that
primarily affects those lines and then
61
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,650
finally we have another curves
adjustment over here which you can see
62
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:09,490
it brings everything down exposure
particularly the mid tones but again
63
00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:13,310
that affects only during the opposite
things so it doesn't affect some of
64
00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:17,450
these white lines that we have it
doesn't affect these guidelines as well
65
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:21,970
it really just focuses on everything
that's that's largely black and so I
66
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:27,120
really did that just by creating an
inverse of this this particular layer
67
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,640
mask over here with some additional
adjustments so that's basically what I
68
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,170
did to create this image it's it's
really only have three curves
69
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:42,940
adjustments and he still feel they're
essentially that was great again just
70
00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:48,240
using a channels based selection so
that's that image they're gonna move on
71
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,340
to the second image where we essentially
started with this colorful over here as
72
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:57,540
you can see it's not terribly exciting
and so obviously I want to make it much
73
00:05:57,540 --> 00:06:03,370
more interesting starting off with the
color image basically I want to do is
74
00:06:03,370 --> 00:06:06,200
make the skylab it more interesting
because in its current state it's
75
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,110
obviously not terribly interesting what
I really like about the image itself was
76
00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:13,350
this kind of highlight that we have
going on in the building in the snow
77
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:17,290
liquidation of color and also the
vertical lines that we see is a nice mix
78
00:06:17,290 --> 00:06:21,050
of shadow and highlight here so that
part I did like but unfortunately had a
79
00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:26,060
clear skies that day and it's just not
terribly interesting so rather than make
80
00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:27,320
a completely dead
81
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,630
section of image here I decided to add
some interesting effects of to do that
82
00:06:31,630 --> 00:06:37,010
basically had some long exposure skies
shot and so if we go in the sky section
