PBase has some of the BEST photographers around.,. Kill some time there..

This one is a "lump-in-the-throat" picture, if there ever was one :)

4. I've always found B&W more dramatic than color...

however (I'll get flamed to death for this) film beats digital for dramatic effect.

Graded, if they still make it. Portriga for the warm, Brovira for the cool. no flames from me. Only the love.

8. I agree about black & whites photos

I did the whole b&w thing at Joshua Tree (real original, I know), but they turned out beautifully. I've used b&w film a lot since then. Very expressive medium.

11. I love B&W photography....

Not that I'm anywhere near a professional, or even an enthusiastic amateur, but they definitely are my favorite kind of pictures to take!

12. Black and white is much less forgiving of error in lighting or exposure

I love black and white photography, it's just HARD to make it work right :)

13. I've been doing exclusively B&W for over 5 years now... I've even..

scanned some colors and had them printed as B&W. They're beautiful.
