don't think you can double expose with digital. If you could that would rock (aside from using a long exposure I mean.)..

Well, in that case, i've got some good news for ya. My pentax istD can expose the same frame up to 9 times. So double exposure is definitly possible with digital cameras.

Part of your success may be the fact that you started out with film, have darkroom experience, and know what a good b&w print is supposed to look like.

A lot of people snap a shot, click the desaturate button in photoshop and think they have a masterpiece.

For me, I have a 4mp Olympus that takes great pics, but it will never replace my film cameras.

With all due respect, I disagree. The last time I set foot in a darkroom was when I dated a photographer in college and had no idea what the difference was between a point-and-shoot and an slr. I have some 'bought' prints hanging on my walls, as well as a couple of mine (all b&w). Me, personally, I can't tell the difference. Neither can anyone else...they're always shocked to see my signature on the ones that are mine.

That being said, there IS more to it than simply desaturating a color print in PS and calling it good.

Sorry, Sark. I wasn't trying to generalize the first part of my statement. It was "Mark-specific." But, there again, a similar statement prbably applies to you. Photographic experience, know what a good b&w should look like, and an understanding that taking the color out of a photograph doesn't make it a good b&w shot.
