10% in b&w by quietpurplehaze

10% in b&w

Around 10% of my 100 portraits are in b&w.

The first was to correct an error in not changing the white balance from outdoor to indoor setting which resulted in an orange cast on the colour version.

This was one of several snippets of knowledge re-inforced as I followed this project: always check your settings. (Although now, following this error and also following recommendations in a review on settings of the Sony a6000 online, I have the camera always set on awb...)

I admit to being touched by the story of Kev, far right, who was selling the Big Issue in Winchester.

He told me that, after years of working and paying his taxes, he was reduced to living in his car.
Nice! People seem to love smiling for your camera. I'd like to know how you approach strangers.

Brender I just approach them the same way as I approach anybody - although I can't really describe how that is! Thank you for your comment.

Fabulous in b&w. I remember Kev's story. Did you buy a copy of the Big Issue?

Yes, I certainly did! I didn't know the pricing system until Kev explained it to me.
