[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]BD, I sit corrected. A bit OT: How do other people feel about converting digital images to B&W in post? It'd be nice if DSLRs had an option to switch the preview screen to B&W (maybe they do - I haven't checked). I approach subjects differently when shooting in colour. Colour becomes an important part of the content of the image - one of the reasons why I usually prefer B&W. No distractions, no abstract emotional reactions to colours that confuse the message I'm trying to get across. On the other hand, sometimes it's the splash of colour in an otherwise bland image that carries the picture. It pays to carry both. And by both, I mean an M loaded with HP5 on one shoulder and a tank-like DSLR on the other. I'm tired of playing around in Photoshop with strange-looking E200 that's been rated at 640, pushed 2 stops and used in mixed fluo / sodium carbide lighting. Too much time spent in front of the monitor and not enough behind the VF. Liam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
