In Post: Keeping Noise In Check #255

I like moody skies for black and white photos. Such scenes are a good opportunity to accentuate the sky and make other elements in the scene supporting characters. Increasing contrast is a simple way to amp up the sky. However, you have to watch out for introducing noise. Join me In Post as I strike a balance between contrast and noise on a photo taken in Kushimoto, Japan.

Check out In Post: Contrast & Noise #195 for a further discussion on balancing the two.
