I took this picture with a Canon 10D. It was literally my first week with that camera, and I was shooting JPEG for convienience: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2004/2004_31alt2.jpg Then I decided (partly based on some LUG comments) to convert the image to B&W. No matter what I did, I just could not get the tones right or avoid artifacts. From that day on, I have been shooting only RAW.
