Originally posted by RagnorakI thought it was pretty ironic too, but I don't mind. I do love black and white, but it wasn't always a conscious choice for me. I just shot everything in B&W. Now that I have joined the digital ranks, I'll have the freedom to decide whether to go for colour or for B&W.
I thought that was quite funny too.
Although, in fairness, DdV consistantly enters good photos and has won 3 Photographer of the Rounds before he bought his new toy.

My new camera hasn't helped much for this round though, I still only have one picture to enter. One idea didn't really work out so far, but I might get it done properly tonight. And I have an idea for a night shot, but I don't know yet if I'll find the time to do so.
By the way, did you manage to get out of bed this morning, Ragnorak?

Originally posted by DdVI shoot most of my photos in colour, and then convert them in software afterwards, (except for portraits, I'd always do them in B&W.) Best of both worlds.

About this morning, funny thing. I set 2 alarms, 1 for 4.45, and 1 for 5, with sunrise scheduled for 5.25, leaving me plenty of time to get to the site. So, first alarm went off. Hopped out of bed, looked out window and it was a beautiful morning, cloudless with a hint of the coming sunrise already looking great.
I still somehow managed to convince myself to turn off the other alarm, and go back to sleep. 😞
