Interesting... and not so surprising to me- as I tried that when I first
got a digital camera that allowed me to switch...but I couldn't rely on
remembering to
switchbetween the two changing something in the camera... not to mention
not being able to decidewhich I preferred on the spot. Was so glad to
see I could do it post shooting..
but but, when I shot tri-x, as I did for almost 50 years in additionto
agfa or Kodachrome,
my eyes still saw the color... although I would sometimes envision the
scene in BW, it
is what I saw - before I picked up the camera that determined my desire
to photo it.
I carried two cameras with me all the time when travelling, and taking
the one with
tri-x in it when I was just coming and going in the city... about half
of what I saw
back in the day was shot in both when possible...
I got in to trouble back then sometimes , grabbing the wrong camera at
times - though I
did put the names of the camera on the backs of each - Bubba was for
color,and Sam was for
Tri-x.
did you, back in fil days, always have a yellow or orange filter - or
even red, so when you
looked through the lens you got a monochrome and the contrast that it
brought out?
me did.

What does the color look like? Just curious
An interesting question my dear. When I shoot mono, I have the camera
set to mono jpeg, so in fact I can't tell you about the colour version
as it doesn't exist.
I tried shooting colour and converting later to mono, early on in my
digital photo experiences but couldn't get to grips with it. I found
that, much like shooting actual film, I had to know what I had in the
camera and then shoot to that end. If I had FP4 in the camera then I was
looking at some nice detailed mono work. HP5 and gritty street pics.
Kodachrome and fill the frame with deep hues.
I've carried that theme on into digital. I tend to shoot more and more
mono now than colour - about 75% of my efforts I'd say.
Horses for course :-)
Thanks for looking XX
