Film to digital

[Zulu2]

Hi all.

I'm just getting back into taking pictures since 2005.

I started taking pictures (serious amature) back in the early 70's, took university course and 2 nikon courses, etc. Mostly black and white (had a darkroom) and color slides. Lost all, 30+ years of images in New Orleans flood. :violin:

I want to do black and white and thought I wanted to shoot film again so I bought a few familiar friends (nikon fe's). But I've come to the conclusion that I don't have the time to get into the darkroom again.

So, I'm going digital using my Canon EOS10D I bought in 2004 to do black and white.

I'll be looking for advice as to techiques and the do's and don'ts of digital B&W, sources for printing photo's etc.

I've ordered photoshop elements and lightroom which I believe should give me the tools to prepare the images.

Any advice on this process will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Joe
