[QUOTE="Ripeart, post: 35536, member: 7916"] I would like to know more about black and white photography, specifically as it relates to digital photography. I guess I could always Google that, however I would like to know if there are any commonly known authoritative publications on the subject. I figure this would be the best place to ask. I am also interested in what your experiences are in black and white. My initial thought about bw is that perhaps the lack of colors facilitates more expressive opportunities since it is more... to the point? Eh, having a hard time articulating that. I know there are no absolutes, however do you think some subjects are more suited to bw photography than others? I find that the black and white version speaks to me so much more than the color version: [ATTACH]6016._xfImport[/ATTACH] [HR][/HR][ATTACH]6017._xfImport[/ATTACH] I think color can go all wrong in a hurry. Plus she is playing a Dmaj7 when she should be practicing a D. :p [/QUOTE]
