But I really got a lot of flack for posting B&W images of my 45th high school reunion, and had to repost them in color (highlighting a cavalcade of rosacea). When I watch old reruns of Perry Mason and Twilight Zone, I get distracted by bokeh, tonality, and DOF. If I have to be preoccupied by something, that seems noble to me. How about some insect close-ups in B&W? no harm in trying. Jeffery On Tuesday, December 10, 2013, Jim Nichols wrote: > Thanks, Jeffery.
