Why would the knowledge that a color sensor lurks within make it harder to think in BW than would looking through the color viewfinder on a film camera? Thinking in BW is just a matter of knowing how colors convert to grey. In truth, the color information is an important part of the process. Of course, it’s best to plan your BW shots, rather than just converting the ones that don’t work in color. But the hidden sensor doesn’t enter into the equation. > > For this reason I shoot jpegs with the mono set - but it's too damn easy > to switch back to colour with the Fujis..... > > -- > > > Cheers, > Cotty > > > ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, > || (O) | Web Video Production > ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> > _____________________________ > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
