I am doing this as an exercise this week. I am shooting raw, so file still retains color anyway, but I wanted to adjust exposure and composition specifically for B/W image using lcd, and pretending that I don't have color 'film' in my cam. So that i force myself to see the world in that attitude. Interestingly, what looks interesting in B/W are not always so in color and vice versa. I started it on a whim, on one grey miserable rainy day for a kick. Now I am getting into it. It's like I got a new toy without paying for it at all
Hi.Do you make money of your photography or is it just a hobby?

Vallejo: I am very sorry, but I am not very keen on revealing my PP recipes - I hope you understand!
And here is a bunch of shots (worse and better) from my recent walks in Denver. All with 21 and 100.
carstenw - Those are really not ugly flower shots!
HM - lovely BW shots
Bob - great shot of Miami in night - worth all the effort building a support pyramid! And I like the trees shot too.
HM - yet another great set with lovely tones! I love the dramatic clouds in first one and the light in the last one! I also like very much the second shot in color set.
Akul - those two shots looks like they are done with the film! Excellent both!
Vallejo - it is both!
Ultrapix - hmmm - what was the question? No need for apologies!
Oh by the way i love Lieutanian basketball, Sabonis, Kurtinaitis, Marciulionis, Jasikevicius and so many others, they play the most beqautiful basketball and i always support them in the international games. Yes, i play basketball as an amateur.
alkanphel - nice conversion - really makes that dark flower stand out!
Akul - great shots with lovely play of light and shadow and interesting compositions and subjects! I will get 35 F2 soon!
Lotusm50 - I loved version one of Silver Efex and I love even more version two. There isn't nothing better out there for digital black and white photography. And if you interested in B&W so just go on and get it!
Love that shot - that thing looks tasty!
Oneant - and both are really cool and moody veggies and fruits shots! Love the colors!
