Love the bw square crop. I'd actually vote for a nicely textured mat print for this picture. But glossy would probably be nice, but it would have to be some high end glossy--something like the Epson Exhibition Fiber paper. To my eye, sometimes basic glossy paper looks kind of cheap. Nice

Both crops are very good. Much stronger images without that distraction on the right. I may be the odd man out here, but I prefer the color shot. I like the sparks with a tinge of red. Maybe experiment with desaturating the color image a bit. On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 7:08 PM, Christine Aguila

I'm at a serious disadvantage trying to discuss photo paper as I pretty much bypassed all the chemical stuff. (After dabbling with BW developing, I quit shooting in the early 1980's and publicly stated that I wouldn't try photography again until they invented digital cameras and LCD displays.)

it should be fairly easy to photograph a birth. You'll want to shoot without any supplemental lighting of course, but that shouldn't be difficult. Birthing rooms are well lit. You'll also have to stay out of the way of the doctor and nurses. Use a zoom, so you don't have to move much. The
