As a (mostly) b&w photographer, I agree.

Technically, I find it a lot harder to get the exposure looking right on three channels at once.

However, there are some things that you can only rarely do with b&w. Wildlife photography for example - where the subject usually is too indistinct to be made out properly.

Mwahaha, so what? :))

I learned english almost 10 years ago as first foreign language and use it for writing kernel patches only. At kernel summit I said 'it suck' instead of 'it sucks' when 100 professional kernel hackers looked and listened to me. When I ordered a food I pointed a finger and said 'this and that' instead of telling how the food is named. And you know what? I completely do not care.

Robert, of course there are cases when bw photos are not interesting, but imho that's a much smaller amount. BW photos are easier to make and show so that others would comment 'how cool it is' or something like that. I do not say that bw photographers are not professionals, but only that it is not interesting to make bw photos _only_ because they almost always look cool.

You're a real Russian man. Instead of using the right and proper English language you're touting your ignorance.

Being you, I would either stop making posts in English or learn it a bit better 'cause English is a no brainier.

Anyway it's you to decide and it's me who just goes away and never advances a remark about your mistakes.

Cheers! :-)

I write it not for someone or for some purpose. I do that only because I like and everyone who do not like it or do not understand or do not want to read is very suggested not to read this. If I do mistake I want to fix it, but not to listen some stilted crap about... That's it. DIXI.
