I'm a complete newbie to digital photography. Just got my first DSLR about a month ago and I'm doing all I can to learn the camera, settings and techniques. Here's my first attempts at B&W. I've been shooting in JPEG prior to these. Shot these in RAW and opened a whole new world. Any feedback is appreciated. Oh, I'm using a T4i with EFS 18-55 IS II and a 55-250 IS II...(I know, cheap lenses but you gotta start somewhere).
Mitchell, The first was converted in Canon's Digital Photo Pro. The second was actually taken in B&W (monochrome) setting on the camera. I took both in RAW so that I could experiment and learn what to do it with RAW images.
Furthermore, the second pic was taken indoors with no flash and only a tungsten bulb overhead for light. There was an open window to the left but it was very cloudy. I suspect I used too long of a shutter speed and may have (probably) moved some during the photo (handheld).
