Learn Digital Black and White Printing in an Online Photo Class

At BetterPhoto.com™, we recognize the recent upsurge in black and white photography. In fact, many contest winners and finalists, and instructor photos, involve B&W! Check out the beautiful images in BetterPhoto's black and white gallery. Why is the black and white medium still popular among fine photographers? BetterPhoto founder Jim Miotke once explained it this way:

"It's classic and elegant, even romantic and special. The simplicity of black and white helps you focus on the important stuff. You can often turn a drab color shot into an amazing black and white. If you do your own darkroom work - traditional or digital - it opens up a world of magic and fun."

A very popular technique is to capture the image with a digital camera and then, via Photoshop, convert the color pictures into B&W and make wonderful black and white prints. An excellent online photography course - Digital Black and White Printing - will show you how to learn B&W printing in the digital darkroom. The instructor is George Schaub, Editorial Director of Shutterbug magazine and author of Amphoto's Guide to Digital Black and White Printing.
