I am a photographer myself and used to shoot 70% b/w while I was still using film. I lately (4-5 years) find it very hard to shoot b/w in digital. I still use film for it that is why I do it rarely. As you said, I do not miss my home made darkroom fixer fumes :) Unfortunately digital grain is square and film is round but your trick really works well. Still, grain is not only what I miss in digital b/w. Although I will try again with it as you really inspired me to do so. I just found your site and appreciated it very much! It is a great asset to all photo enthusiasts! Regards Tassos. Dear Christopher,

While for sometime I missed the subtleties that could be captured with fine grain film, technology has caught up. I don't miss the fumes from my home made darkroom though. I like going out in the middle of bright sunny days, keeping my eye out for the high contrast images that present themselves. All those I find perfect for B&W conversions. Using Photoshop and other tools to work on your images has replaced my old darkroom. The fun continues and more wonderful images are sure to come! I have a section on my site for B&W conversions which will eventually grow considerably. To be sure you and others have given me the impetus to keep going on this endeavor. Thanks for posting!
