ORIGINAL: Ron.M On Radio 4, there was a professional news photographer saying that these days you can shoot a zillion shots on a digital camera and review them later, relaxed with a drink in hand on the computer, but that it takes away from being totally involved and immersed in the moment and the "meaning" of the photograph as it affected you at the time. Plus the fact you were limited to 36 exposures per roll, so you had to be discerning before you pushed the shutter release button. cheers, Ron I appreciate the battle of the past, and what it took to keep balance with good results under budgets. Yet, the `good ol´stress with celluloid and its expenses for the darkroom ( let aside ordered development in the times before automated exposure!) are no reason for me to be nostalgic about it. Instead I embrace the comfort and relief that the new tech allows, so that one mustn´t bother about limited number of shots and can just shoot away. Also love to just take that storage card and stick into a computer, right after the session. To me personally the challenge with trying to keep postwork on exposure near zero is enough of sportsmanship. - What B&W photography is concerned, I am with a popular photograper who once said something to the extend, that there was some kind of pseudo-artistic mannerism going on that made people giving up merrits of colour. I feel the need for capturing in B&W only very rarely. Ruphus
