Its Always About Values


No, not those kind of values. Not today anyways. I'm talking specifically about luminosity values. In working with a monochrome camera, one must pay attention to tonal values. Cuz you can't easily fix 'em in post. The sign on this BBQ place featured two different reds, but in monochrome they rendered almost the same. You really have to look to see the letters. But what surprised me the most was how the double yellow lines in the middle of the road rendered almost the same as the asphalt itself. I was not expecting that.
