Black/White Fun with Different Filters


Taking photos in Black/White (B/W) is very trendy these days. But seldom do people stop and think on how they could get intended B/W results from the colorful world that their eyes are used to see. As an examples below to show B/W pictures, I'm taking one of the pics from my "798 Art District" collection (The Red Boy) and photoshopping them into black and white, extracting out separate color tones. They should in effect correspond to finishing B/W photos taken with respective color filters in front of the camera lens. There is no special reason why choosing one filter over the other in photographic works. One could just pick out the one that would be the best and suitable for your intended B/W result.
