[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 24604, member: 1061"] Excellent! Translate your keen sense of color to contrast, and you're there. Don't think of them as colors anymore. When composing a photo that you want to convert to B&W, look for what you already know. Just tweak it a little. As a painter, you're no doubt familiar with the color wheel and which colors compliment and contrast one another. For example, green and yellow are next to each other on the color wheel. They are not complimentary colors, and when side by side in a B&W photo, would not contrast well. Purple and yellow [I]are[/I] complimentary colors, and that contrast is there. Triadic color schemes also photograph well in B&W. [/QUOTE]
