RICOH GR III in high contrast monochrome JPEG setting is epic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Love texture <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First step \u00e2\u20ac\u201d textures are great in monochrome. Set your camera to high contrast black and white jpeg mode, and shoot with EVF or LCD screen to better visualize monochrome compositions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shoot against the light <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Try to intentionally get lens flare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Strange lighting situations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shoot reflective surfaces, or situations with artificial lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look for curves <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re walking about, look for curves. Shoot -1 or -2 exposure compensation to highlight the shapes and lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoot the sky<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Photograph clouds and the sky. It renders so beautifully in monochrome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simplify shapes and forms <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simpler is better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagonal lines <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For more dynamic compositions, fill the frame with diagonal lines!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
