This is an interesting discussion, and brings up another of my "issues" with dropping film for digital. I am interested to know *how* it is that you guys approach the "mindset" of shooting a shot for bw/colour with digital. I know that usually when I am shooting with film, I will shoot a shot in colour and instinctly say to the couple "hang on, we'll do that again, that would be an even better shot in BW", AND likewise, many a time, I see a shot and just *know* that I need to shoot it in black and white and so do so. That option isn't available for digital, so *how* do I get around this? How do I shoot a shot in colour that I *should* have shot in black and white and then *hope* that once I convert it, it looks as I had imagined. AND, how the heck, in a wedding of say 300 proofs, do I remember which ones I shot with the express intentions of them being black and white and which ones were *meant* to be in colour...
One good thing though is having the option to do both with all images. I often get an older family member (usually brides mother) who says, "gee that is a lovely shot, but I wish it were in colour". Of course, it is not an issue if it is the other way around as you can always remove the colour, but not add it if it was shot in bw to begin with... hope i'm making sense here, didn't get much sleep last night due to restless kidlets.... tan. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Shel Belinkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > I still don't like the idea, though, of including > > desaturated color in > > the B&W section of the PUG .... odd, in some ways, don't you think? > > Yes. > > tv > > >
