I am a recently retired broadcast engineer who is taking up photography as a
hobby after using it largely only for work and genealogical research over
the last 30+ years. Most of my genealogical photography going forward will
undoubtedly be photographing gravestones in B&W, the preferred format for
those photos (I am a member of the Association for Gravestone Studies).
I used SLRs for years (most recently a Pentax K-1000). but switched to a
digital camera (a Sony Cybershot) about 15 years ago for convenience. With
retirement I decided to upgrade, and recently bought a Pentax K-70 with a DA
18-270mm as my walking-around lens. I am still mastering the amazing array
of settings but am making progress. I am using a variety of colored B&W
filters for gravestones, because 1) I am on old guy who was used to doing
that with film, and 2) although I have done a fair amount of image
post-production over the years I would rather get the correct image
in-camera than fix it in post.
