@johnnyfrs Hello John, thanks, I know there are two ways of achieving b&w, will try both and see which I prefer. I don’t use Photoshop or other online editor, just have the one that came on my laptop.
@joansmor Thanks Joan, I will be trying both ways but read an article about this and the suggestion was to think and shoot in b&w. I don’t have Photoshop or any other photo editor other than what was provided in my laptop.
@365anne Richard Sayer used to post on here and had some of the best bw photo (he project was almost entirely bw) he was my mentor and he taught me to do it my way. But it does help to have a Photoshop.
I'll look forward to your b&w photos. I may take a pass on that this year. Or at least just do b&w (which in my case will be processed, since my camera doesn't take b&w's) and not follow any schedule.
@joansmor@johnnyfrs@bkbinthecity@randystreat Thanks for your interest and comments. As with so much around photography many things are personal preference and experience - but also room for all points of view.
I am fortunate to have the best of both worlds. I can switch my camera to B&W mode and that way see through the viewfinder how the contrasts of colours will look and whether all the shapes will show up well. But I can use the raw file (which remains in colour) if I want to make adjustments to the conversion that will interpret the different colours with alternative shades of grey. I am very impressed that you are practicing for February.
