HI crew,
Since the days of digital/cameras/computers and all that other fiddling 
stuff. I rarely think about colour or B&W as we did in the days of film. 2 
OR MORE CAMEARS HANGING ON THE BODY WERE ALMOST MANDATORY. Other than when 
it was an all B&W film documentary or shooting only in colour as that was 
all the client wanted.  
I have seen magnificent B&W prints made from digital colour images without 
any concerns when crossing over to B&W. 
Me? I just throw the card, well sorry? I push the card into the camera and 
off I go having a great time without a thought other than capturing a "cool 
image!"
And when I pop a digital colour image or from film days and out comes a 
13X19 B&W drop dead gorgeous print? I kinda look at it?, "SMILE!" And 
whisper to myself?  "DAMN YER GOOD!" :-)  Naw not me, it's the machine! :-) 
:-) 
Oh sure sometimes you have an absolutely crappy print, but that's just life! 
So get over it and don't spend 2 or 3 hours computer fiddling it!
cheers,
Dr. ted  :-)

Colour for me - the red of her dress adds an extra dimension.
Cheers
