Working on these old B&W photos for the past few days has made me realize one important thing about myself... I'm not comfortable doing color photos.
I don't know why, either. The tonal range of the B&Ws is the thing, I guess. Also, for two great semesters in college, all we shot was B&W. I could—and probably would—have participated in some color classes if I hadn't run out of funds. Another thing is that my new camera doesn't have a B&W setting. Do any of these new digitals? Converting color shots to B&W isn't a proper thing to do with film. The dyes in the color film are not engineered to to do gray scale. It just isn't the same.
I'll have to experiment with some film and with the digital transforms to find for myself if there is a great difference.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Tonto—not knowing that The Lone Ranger had disguised himself as a pool table—racked his balls.
