[Leica] Fire Escape Shadows Colour or B&W

[Gerry Walden]

Howard

It is the b&w for me. I am glad in a way that somebody else is caught in the dilemma of colour or b&w. For me it is one of the problems of shooting digital RAW. You saw the image in b&w, and that is why you took it, but you then had to rethink when you loaded it on to the computer because you then had to rethink it. This is one of the primary reasons I have gone back to film: once I have pressed the button there is no going back.
