B/W photography

[~rosey~]

does anybody here play around with b/w photography? as we only have a b/w darkroom at school that is all im expereinced in, but im looking forward to playing with colour, especially for landscapes, although i do love the way b/w photo's grasp the truth and atmoshpere so brilliantly, especially with red/brown toners.

 

[motcon]

i shoot b&w exclusively.

 

[nikon90s]

I shot about 75% black and white. 8)

 

[voodoocat]

I've shot one roll but plan on many more in the future. Since I have the scanner all I really need to get is the chemicals, tank and thermometer. I have a roll of HP5 ready to take out. I'd like to head somewhere industrial.

It's all about b&w. Screw color. We see color everyday... 8)

 

[motcon]

Screw color.

wow, dudette. a very concise and poignant statement.

screw color.

Perhaps you missed the jest of my statement.

Can I flame digital instead?

Kidding! I am feeling rather facetious tonight... it must be time for bed.
