>>3503865Glad you like them, Anon.
There's several ways to convert pics to black and white, but I usually stick to one of these three methods: gradient maps, calculations, or channel mixer. The last two I learned here, on /p/. In the particular case of these images,
>>3501386 was made via calculations and
>>3501380 was made via channel mixer (with a bit of dodge and burn to fine tune the image). If needed, I use a curve adjustment layer to fine tune overall contrast, shadows and highlights (but I think I didn't need to in these pics). Pic related is the calculations tutorial. Next post is the channel mixer tutorial.
Almost all of these pics were shot with a Canon 5D3 + 24-70mm lens. Exceptions being
>>3501373 and
>>3501095 (used a 70-200mm) and
>>3501094 (if I recall correctly, I used a Rebel T3i with a 10-22mm lens).
