Thanks Mark. I appreciate the explanation.
I have to try some conversions on my water shote - I'm a color slide guy and
rarely see potential B + W images thru the viewfinder.

Very nice collection Mark.
Was there a specific reason you presented them in B+W ?
And were the water shots long shutters or multiple exposures?
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.)
