Hi Although I've used digital for most commercial (event/PR) work for some time I'd stuck with 35mm film for my black and white landscape prints. A whole host of reasons, but cost/quality figured in it to a great extent. Well, at last, the business was able to justify the expense of new equipment (a lot of suppliers do read this list so don't be afraid of posting your digital 'wants' -- it saved me quite a bit). I got a 1Ds, which was nice :-) Several people contacted me off list and asked if I would share some of my experiences with the change -- particularly the black and white part. I've finally got round to writing up some of my first impressions, along with some sample images comparing my old film based approach with digital. It's not a detailed scientific study and is intended for a fairly broad audience (so no gripes about my lack of movements! ;-) Having just spent a couple of weeks in Scotland, and about to spend a month (May) in the Rockies I hope to be able to show quite a lot more when the Northlight site gets its total re-build later in the summer. If anyone wants any more info, please feel free to contact me off-list. <http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/digital-black-white.html> It's not been up long, so may change a bit as I spot errors in my spelling/grammar :-) Bye for now Keith Cooper =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
