Yes, indeed. B&W is far more subjective than color. With color you need
to be close to reality, or so far off it is obvious it is deliberate.
While in B&W lighting is everything. If you had wanted your mothers
hands to be soft and loving you would have needed very soft lighting and
a rather high key print. Cotty's interpretation would be more
appropriate for an elderly man's hands, you know, gnarled hard working,
but now idle.
I am going to have to try some B&W with my Oly. The manual says that in
B&W mode it just reads luminance off all the pixels, so it should give a
true 5mp image. I keep meaning to try it out and see how that works.
