They certainly do have character, I usually favor color though.

I used Adobe Lightroom to process it like monochrome B&W film -- the kind with silver emulsion -- not color B&W film (which is actually color film that prints the colors as gray.)

It's hard to explain the difference. Silver emulsion captures only light intensity.

color B&W captures intensity, but adjusts the intensity to match the human sensitivity to different colors. (more weight is given to green, for example).



min pin?

I've got some more photos in the black and white vein.

1. Another photo of Mischief -- same processing



2. Vera Cat -- Processed in selenium to improve tone range. Black cats are really hard to photograph, they always look like silhouettes with eyes.
