Thanks Ann. The color noise was the main reason I converted, but I
like the feel of the BW better than the original color as well. That
point and shooter at ISO 800 is noisier than the K20D at 6400, but it
takes nice pictures at ISO 100, and it's decent at 400.

Paul it looks like this time Grace was so transfixed she forgot you
might take her pic...
which is what makes it work for me the most. I think convert to BW
good idea - I imagine
the various colors people are wearing would distract a lot.

Around this time every year the mall near our house stages a Santa
arrival. The event draws a crowd that must number near 1000.
Everyone sits waiting anxiously for Santa. The mall management
does it up big with a reporter up on the roof broadcasting to a
wide screen TV down below and an elaborate Santa castle in the
center of the mall's large atrium. Finally, smoke fills the stage
and Santa emerges. Every kid in the audience and most of the adult
are transfixed. I snapped this pic with my little Panasonic Lumix
DMC-TZ1. I had to go to ISO 800 to avoid using flash. I held the
camera nearly at ground level, so I could look up at Grace and the
crowd. The result was noisy as heck, but I smoothed it out a bit
and converted it to BW. It's here:
