Shoot on analogue. Digital B&W is a poor imitation at best.

analogue B&w has grain and emotion, digital B&W is just a colour photo with the colour turned off.

analogue will make u think about each shot properly too

Kodak Tri -x at 800asa is the best film to use for band photography, always has been

hey all i was wondering if anyone could possibly help me with a little issue im having with up loading my b&w photos to come out in b&w. i apologize if this is the wrong area to post about this so redirection is welcomed. i am fairly new to using my own slr so i need all the help i can get. I went to a concert lately and here is how i shot :
canon rebel xt 50 mm1.8
TV and AV
RAW format
B&W Parameter

now i have a macbook pro and when i put in the sd card into the slot and directly upload them onto iphoto, the b&w photos do not come out b&w but a funky color but where the photos show up to upload they are b&w. same goes to for finder. in the sd folder for finder the you can see the picture in b&w but when you click on it the photo opens in preview with some funky colors.

I did look at one of the pictures under editing on iphoto and it said a saturation of 49 could this be the problem? i have not compared it to another photo not taken in b&w

i will try and post a photo to further explain if need be

thank you.

I have recently purchased my first SLR. Previously used advanced point and shoot. I have
been afraid of RAW but after reading these comments I am going to give it a try. Thanks for
the great information !!

Interesting article, I like the black and white dea lto shoot in RAW b/w to see the shoot in the LCD screen and still have all color information in the RAW file to edit the images at computer, Clever idea

Lovely article. I tried it to process this bright yellow sunflower in black and white using the tips given…. I used the 100 iso setting, and also chose a cloudy day…

Wonderful article. I tried this image … a yellow sunflower in black and white…. it seemed to have lovely shades of grey…

I can say that by looking over your website’s posts, remarks that there are many different ideas on the similar topic. To be honest it is refreshing to find fellow opinionated people, it is a good website, i like the simplicity of your content and i appreciate your words, which gave me very useful information.

My favourite photographs are black and white; they are beautiful and look more professional that colour ones; there are many options with monochromatic photographs and they usually achieve powerful results if you know how to exploit it.
