Ok only color or B/w?

[kshapero]

If you could only shoot color or B/W, which would it be?

 

[Tompas]

B/W.
Color is too difficult for me anyway -- I can't get them right, those colors.

I was first thinking - for longer trips - just shoot color and do the BW conversion in PS. Well - can be done, but stronger filtering will bring banding in the sky. I was worrying to "miss color shots" just when my camera will be loaded with BW. I guess I should stop worrying.

Still - as much as I love BW, I would hardly decide to skip color.

Commercially: colour

For pleasure: B+W

Cheers,

Why is the word color italicized? Leading?

99,9% B/W for me. I shoot it even though most people around me think someone should tell me they have now invented cameras that take colour photos. I just don't see in colours. I see light and shadows and that is what I try to capture.

I voted for b&w because I really love b&w photographs and that’s what I shoot 98% of the time. However; there are occasionally a few things that simply demand color capture. In some circumstances I have photographed a subject with both and was never quite happy with a b&w print. If I had to choose one, it would be b&w. Sometimes I wonder though if color weren’t an option (having only b&w film with me) would I be more satisfied with the black and white photo. Maybe!

Cause you voted for Color?

 

[David R Munson]

B&W. Between shooting almost nothing but for a decade or so and being partially colorblind, it just works for me.

 

[semrich]

I shoot mostly B&W and if I could only choose one it would be B&W.

 

[Todd.Hanz]

There's only two colors, Black and White.

Shoot mostly B&W so that got my vote

 

[kshapero]

shadows and contrast are my main mediums

 

[E.M]

I shoot mostly colour , real life is in colour , b&w is special effect .

One problem I perceive with colour (if you're a film shooter) is the limitations in high speed colour film ... there's not too many choices! I think you can still get Fuji 1600 superior but I don't see it listed at Freestyle or many other places so obviously it's not a hot seller.

My experiences with Fuji Pro 800Z left me a little non plussed ... it's a nice film but exhibits a bluish tinge a lot of the time, particularly in artificial light. Black and white film negates this problem and allows you to concentrate solely on composition and content.

When I got back into photography, & especially after my 1st RF camera my intentions were to shoot B&W. Then of course I saw what some of the others were doing with color & good deals came along so I couldn't pass any up. Now that C-41 processing is getting more & more scarce I will weed myself off the stock of color film I have & concentrate on B&W. Besides my darkroom isn't color friendly!

I voted Color
I can always scan and convert later if needed.
You can't "add" Color with BW scans..
But you can "subtract" Color to get BW from your scans.

 

[Spleenrippa]

I don't like colored people, so black and white only




Okay, that was lame. I'm sorry :angel:

 

[pvdhaar]

Voted for color. I'm not very good at shooting B&W..
