I'm not a real one but at least I can try to be a wannabe. So I shot b&w with film mostly, and with digital, I shoot RAW and then convert to b&w. But this time I kept the colors. See why: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Didier/green.jpg.html It's NOT a photoshop effect! Didier <<<<<<< Hi Didier, In this case any idiot shooting B&W would completely fail to "show the effects in the stream!" After all "the colour is the most important element of the photograph. Period!" My "REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT B&W!" I've used for years always creates wild, sometimes very interesting positive and negative conversation..... quite often quite stupid ones. WHY? Well those coming back with dumb ass things like ..."where is it written to be a "REAL PHOTOGRAPHER YOU HAVE TO SHOOT B&W?" Usually this type of remark comes from unseeing folks who have no concept of when B&W works over colour or vise versa. And they take it literally rather than it's generally meant as a tongue in cheek!" Damn, it sure stirs the pot quite often between "Real Photographers and not so Real Photographers!" :-) Watch what happens. ;-) ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
