I think the flowers now I'm noticing are on the trees. Not on the ground or in the bushes. Or in front of the shops or in the windows. Hand held 8th of a second at f5.6 with a 55mm f3.5 micro Nikkor from the early 80's. Monotone using all controls. As in color sliders. The colors I'm sure were beautiful but I don't care about them anymore. I'm back to black and white and the use of my gritty old Nikkor's from decades gone by. the 55mm for this shot and my 105 2.5 80 f2 45 2.8 And a few others. Which means as well as black and white I'm also back to manual focus. I'm back to the future. Black and white photographer of the future it feels like to me. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner
