I rendered than in B&W because I tend to "see" that kind of scene, indeed that whole part of the country, in B&W. I discovered it quite accidentally: After returning from my first photo trip there I was completely unimpressed by what I saw on my screen when I looked at my shots. For many of them I couldn't imagine why I had pressed the shutter. Then, a few weeks later, I tried rendering one in B&W and it just came alive. WHen I went through the rest of the photos they all "worked" in B&W in a way that they simply hadn't in color. I grew up shooting B&W film and tend to "see" certain kinds of photographic scenes that way even now. They're all long shutter speed (from 1/4 second to 20 seconds, IIRC). Oh, and the ones that look as if I were sitting on a rock in the middle of a raging river were actually taken while sitting on a rock in the middle of a raging river. Climbing out there with several thousand dollars worth of camera gear was nerve-wracking to say the least. (All shots taken with the K-1 and either the FA 20/2.8 or the FA 31/1.8 Limited.) >>http://www.robertstech.com/temp/nh2017/index.html -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- 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.
