I sh...I'm riding in the same boat as you, Russ. I shoot with color in mind so monochromes seem foreign to me, which may be why I haven't done Monochrome Monday/Maniacs or Sepia Scenes more often. I don't know why, but I find some of my less engaging color images turn out to be splendid B&W's. <br /><br />This is an excellent choice for your first entry. As already mentioned, the contrasts are good, and the different depths interest me.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828906766357936081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335226182071404340.post-46301388793993277402009-04-20T08:48:00.000-06:002009-04-20T08:48:00.000-06:00It is undoubtedly true that you should shoot in mo...It is undoubtedly true that you should shoot in mono looking for the contrasts and tones. I had no choice when I started and used then to worry about what made a good colour picture. <br />It is detail and the range of contrasts that make your very excellent contribution to MM today.<br />My wife, who blogs as Dragonstar, uses digital but switches to B&W before shooting.<br />I am a purist (old fogey)and still use film or my archive of prints.<br />Anyway, you are very welcome here at Mono - please keep contributing.Ailenihttp://www.calonyddaear.com/id26.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335226182071404340.post-24298510493077960882009-04-20T08:25:00.000-06:002009-04-20T08:25:00.000-06:00Hi!
