I have a question for the hundred percenters. Let's say you viewed the following on a good color monitor:
- a dozen high-quality images that had been shot with black and white film, and - a dozen high-quality images that had been shot with color print film, then saved in grayscale. Then I asked you to tell me, "Which 12 were shot in black and white?" Of the 12 you chose, how many would be the "real" black and white shots? You can see where I'm going here: I doubt many of you would score very well. I'll bet that at least four of your dozen choices would turn out to have been shot in color. For photographers who, like me, are more concerned with getting a great JPEG (which thousands can view) than getting a great print (which few will ever view), color offers a way to "have it all"--to present an image in color or black-and-white, and filtering techniques that are not available to the black-and-white shooter.
