How to spot a fake B&W?

[abraxas]

Flea77 I see what your saying and I agree, I also see how tossing around the word "fake" on a photography forum can be a little risky. Maybe a more clearly defined definition during your critiquing. Thanks for answering my questions, I am now an expert on the subject lol.

Lastly, I believe fake is a completely appropriate word to describe the process of the camera or computer TRYING to interpret(fake) B&W by it's conversion that was PROGRAMMED into it.

Sorry if the thread caused you or anyone else emotional damages.

I had only good intentions

You flatter yourself. None the less, at least you've posted photos and your opinion can be weighted- you're a known quantity. Good luck to you.

You flatter yourself.

please explain?

ya im new to all of this, got my first cam 3 months ago, im just trying to learn all this stuff. So I prolly dont carry much weight around here. The internet is amazing though. I learn more in my apartment on my computer in an hour then a weeks worth of classes at my University. It's sad. Wish I could just pay for my degree without putting in the useless hours of class.
