It is a bit like flowers. It is possible to photographs flowers successfully--Mapplethorpe comes to mind--but in general flower photography or, say, food photography, is best in color. Many other types of photography, particularly portrait and street photography, work well in B&W. This is why I carried two bodies, one loaded with B&W film and one loaded with color slide film, in the old days, and why I sometimes covert to B&W in post-processing now. You need an M10 to supplement your Monochrom ;-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ YNWA On Nov 9, 2013, at 2:57 AM, Jay Burleson wrote: > Gentlemen, > Please elucidate to myself and others on the list exactly why you feel > that color, in these particular images, would make them intrinsically > better? > I am genuinely curious. > > Jay > > On 11/7/2013 10:53 PM, Nathan Wajsman wrote: >> Me too. >> >> Nathan >> >> On Nov 7, 2013, at 4:02 PM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: >> >>> Jay, >>> I am really missing colour in this set! >>> Cheers >>> Jayanand >>> >>> On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 7:27 AM, Jay Burleson <leica at jayburleson.com> >>> wrote: >>>> Correfoc - the Catalan word for Fireworks >>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correfoc >>>> >>>> This was crazy - sparks and embers landing everywhere, including on all >>>> the >>>> onlookers! >>>> All with Leica Monochrom, Summicron-M 1:2/ 35 mm ASPH., iso 320 >>>> >>>> Let There be Fire >>>> http://jayburleson.com/leica/gallery/index.php/Barcelona-2013/L1001700 >>>> >>>> The Correfocs Begin >>>> http://jayburleson.com/leica/gallery/index.php/Barcelona-2013/L1001706 >>>> >>>> Fire Rains Down >>>> http://jayburleson.com/leica/gallery/index.php/Barcelona-2013/L1001708 >>>> >>>> Please click on an image to view a larger size. >>>> >>>> Thanks for looking and all comments welcome! > > -- > Jay, > > Jay Burleson Gallery <http://jayburleson.com/leica/gallery/index.php/> > "Being a Leica customer is like dating the most beautiful girl in the > world... > who cares more about herself than you... but, you keep calling her back > anyway... > because the sex is so good... most of the time."
