No my arguments, are clearly stated in what I said. Colors may be random in life but they can't be random in any kind of visual arts. Any work of art must be pleasent to the viewer's eye. And the rules for that is that colors have to be in a composition themselves regardles of the image composition. You can get pleasing color images by mistake but doing good colors on purpose is a pain. The only part I agree with you is that there are many bad B/W photos too but I never stated otherwise. I just said some bad color photos can be enhanced by a B/W treatment not all. Just those where the amount of useless color ruins them.

Again, nonsense. There are a great many works of art that are actually quite unplesent to look at. Art is a communication medium, and,"Wow, that's pretty!" isn't the only message.

Point your camera at a nice sunset, or just about any of nature's other wonders, and click. It's that simple.

| I just have to say that B&W converstion is not adviceable toward any Fall colored trees...now, I'm just being sarcastic here. :) However, I like to shoot photos all year round (of course) B&W's are works of wonder in the Winter while shooting nature shots. Spring and Fall, COLOR. Summer on the other hand, seems quite dullsome with bunches of green all over the place. So have to creative in that time of year. Other B&W shots, older people, it will define the age and lots of detail. Young folks, I would go with color and soft focus. Displicts youth. Flowers, most likey color, however, if the flower or plant has a "design" feature to it's form. Then B&W can bring out the structure elements than the color...some ideas. |

I don't think I'll ever burn out on B&W. There is a simplicity and elegance in B&W that has always appealed to me. In daily life, I feel as if I'm bombarded with color TV ads, magazines, and just my everyday surroundings. And when I look at B&W images, it's as if a layer of distraction is removed for me. I'm sure it's all just perception, but when I look at a beautiful B&W, I see the total image all at once instead of that gorgeous shade of blue or purple.
Don't get me wrong. Color photography is beautiful but B&W will always be my first love. |

I don't like sunset photos, I don't like "simple" and I wanna be a photographer not a "button pusher".
Plus whatever message you want to send, not only and not necesary a beautiful one, messy thoughtless colors will most probably ruin it. I didn't made this up, I learned it in an art school it's in any art book, it's in any photography book, and you still haven't produce a real argument to proove your statement. You just like color because you like it and that's it. Fine with me.
