Tiger at the Nuremberg Zoo

9 years 8 months ago #394566 by CStork


I took this at the Nuremberg Zoo with my Nikon D7100. It's one of my first conversions to black and white and I had alot of issues getting the clarity and contrast to look right. I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions to help me improve either the original composition of the image or post processing.

Thank you, and that link is really helpful. I didn't realize how much effect the black and white mix controls had on the image, I ignored them thinking they were for color photos.

Beautiful shot. Have you tried making a levels adjustment to bring in the black and white end points? That really brings up the contrast.

I agree with Score Photos, it certainly can make an image pop
