If i wanted to do b/w photography, would it be best to do it on a digital camera or SLR b.w film? |
i might want to use colour too so what should i do? should i do on digital camera and then change them to grey scale on photoshop or should i do shoots on both but i wont be getting teh exact shots will i so what should i do? let me know thanks. PS wich is more quality, b/w film or digital? thanks. If you use a digital camera, you should always shoot in colour as you have the choice of changing it...but it does tend to give you more grey tones than true contrasting black and whites. If you do use digital in B&W only so you can look at the shot straight away, you may find that if you have a large grain it will just look pixelated rather than textured. I use digital for the main, but if you want to be creative and feel really proud of yourself artistically and feel some unexplicable authenticisty to you picture...i would use film. Ilford do great b&w film. I always love a grain...so I'd say 800 or 1600 even 3200 if you're really up for it! It depends on how high your pixel rating is, but I'd say film always wins in b&w... try a red filter for a real contrast between black and white. Have fun! Definitely digital camera....it is so easy to change the image to bl/wh after it's downloaded and you have the option to have color prints too. My photographer did this for my wedding. It turned out great....there is a picture of my stepdaughter....my flowergirl (she's 8) dropping flowers down the aisle...he changed it to black/white...it's such a great picture. If you are publishing on the web...stay within the 6 - 8 megapixal range don't go any higher so you have to hurry before they discontinue and force you to buy a more expensive model that is more than what you need. For the Money, Cannon or Nikon is a great value. SLR is better quality. Digital is easier to print and store. Old Technology is better quality in cameras and music. color digital then change it to black and white on Photoshop or the GIMP. a typicaly film has 11megapixels(if i remember correctly), while 11megapixel SLRs i think are a bit expensive, at least where i'm from... both ways are good. it just depends if you're traditional or not :) I love digital but for b/w it's all about the SLR. The saturation is so much better, same with the contrast. Using a digital camera for black and white photography you cut out all the fun you can have in the darkroom plus the satisfaction that you have everything from start to finish.. |
