[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Yeah, I'm tired of seeing a post "I wonder how it would look in color?"
when I know that, if the shooter is anything like me, they have brought
their best to the image.
If you see one of my shots in Mono, you can bet your bottom dollar that
A: some one lent me a new Leica MM
B: I just could NOT get the color balance to square up the way I wanted it
C: I was shooting some Ilford XP2 I found in the drawer.
If I had a say, I would make these rules hard and fast:
1) No black and white film in India. Krishna Krishna
2) No flower pictures in monochrome. God will getcha, she really will.
3) No sunsets or sunrises in anything but Kodachrome. Yeah, I know.
You should be enjoying the moment, not taking pictures anyhow.
You can't do justice to it, just drink yer Starbucks.
