Black & Whites

Here's another old photo rescue I found this weekend while cleaning out my harddrive. (Do you know it takes 12 hours to back up my harddrive these days? What a pain in the ass) Anyway, some of the tips I learned from that seminar recently was that you shouldn't take black & white photos using the camera's B&W feature.

You take it as a color image then you process it into a B&W photo yourself. If you take the image in RAW format (the digital camera's equivalent to a raw film negative), then you can do this even faster and easier.

The photo tips made my otherwise dull looking photo pop out a bit better. To my untrained photography eye this is a decent attempt. /shrug. You know how it is, 10 years from now I'm going to look back at these things and realize how god aweful they are.

It's funny how I like putting all these white frames around these photos now. How unoriginal. But yet it makes me feel like a photographer! I'm getting quite addicted to this new fangled photography shimmadingy.
