When I shot in B+W in the old film days, and in fact from day 1 at college, I looked at things only ion terms of shading, texture and form - I effectively blocked the colour out and didn't 'see' it. Oddly enough, when shooting B+W with my Fuji mirrorless, the EVF is in mono, and I prefer an optical viewfinder! #awkward -- 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.
