I've actually been much happier with my colour shots than my black & white shots and this video makes me realise that I probably don't make enough of a distinction of the two when shooting. It makes sense that I should be looking more for shapes & contrasts with black and white -- seems obvious but this really made it clear for me, great video as always Steve!

I just got 6 TIFFEN 82mm circular filters for Film and Digital in Monochrome or Black and White shooting. This was a 600.00 investment but am glad I did it. Only got out one day to shoot test images, all at same shutter and F stop to compare the effects o the filters, I have a long ways to go to learn these filters. The day was very bright , and the next day were slate grey and showers. Not hauling filters into the rain. NO. Thank you Steve for this video.

Another very intelligent and clear video Steve. It is definitely best to decide in advance whether you are going to do colour or mono. However, light changes quickly sometimes and it is nice to have the option to change the medium on the fly. This is where digital helps of course but I do agree that once you have decided which is the best option for the conditions it is best to alter your viewfinder and screen appropriately and stick to chosen option for that day. Keep these wonderful videos coming!

I used a Pentax 67 with a 55mm F4 lens with Kodak Tri x for years. I developed the film in Xtol. I enlarged some dawn shots from the coast of Cornwall to 20x16 on my 1950s Gnome Condenser enlarger through a 100mm Schneider Componon S lens. I used my hand to dodge the sky. Great prints. Colour, nah, I learned to see in Black and white when I was 9. I have never looked back. However I I enjoyed using Kodachrome and Ektachrome films loved printing on on to Cibachrome paper when it was available. Now it's too expensive so I don't bother with colour anymore. I use a Kiev 6c 6x6 slr now with a 90mm 2.8 Vega lens with Tri x and Rodinal 1 to 50 now and Foma paper which I Lith print with. I have a 1957 Yashica Mat and a Lubitel 2 which I enjoy working with. I am 75 now and have a permanent bathroom darkroom which has no window which suits me fine. I live on my own now, my wife is in a home with alziemers, so sad. I still collect cameras. Mostly 35mm, toy cameras I call them not like 6x6 cameras which are serious work tools Latest finds have been a £20 Yashica fx-d quartz with a 50mm f2 lens and an immaculate and beautiful all black Nikkormat ft2 with a 50mm f2 Nikkor lens from a friend for £100. I don't use them. I just like having them around. History I suppose. Comfort objects. Life is good.

Good move, I used a 50mm 1.8 in California a few years ago after my zoom died - never missed a shot and loved the simplicity.

I know exactly what you mean Steve. I went out the other day at dawn, a respectable time of 8am ish. I saw the mist and fog with the sun hazing it’s way through the dense fog. I shot digital for this shoot, but all B&W. To be honest the scenes looked pretty monochrome anyway in the fog. I got a few good ones and one particular image I printed up and framed, but in sepia. Just a hint, nothing too over the top. I used to shoot XP1 and then XP2 a lot back in the early 1990’s. Although I squelched back to the car as the ground was waterlogged and so my shoes, I realised I just wasn’t having so much fun as I do with my Nikon FE2. As a man in my 50’s now I had gotten up to use the toilet early and saw the light so it was no time for thinking, just grab my camera bag and off I went. I wished I’d brought my film camera. So this time I’m ready. Stunning photographs you took Steve. You’re like me. I print my work a great deal. It’s what photography is all about, the printed image.

I totally agree with the general sentiments of this video and I love the ability to set my camera to monochrome and have the viewfinder and rear LCD show me the image in B&W ...in the old days I had (and still have) a Kodak Wratten filter which (sort of) rendered the image in B&W for visualising what the final image might loook like but modern digital cameras really help in this regard.

Good advice. Well done.

Well, I guess I did my trips to Thailand and other SE Asia countries wrong and I should shelve those great photos I took. 😋

I always carry both, just in case. At the beginning, I shot the same things in B&W and color, but I ended up with mediocre shots. Now, I set my mind to one type, but if I see an opportunity (which happens rarely) , I have the option to take the other camera. I won't say that now my shots are way better, but they're is improvement.

Steve, another fine video with your personal perspective on this cross over paradox. Some really very nice color examples. The last posted color images in the video were stunning. As a color transparency photographer only I find B&W post processing conversion works as a second out for me so to speak. With that said, there are many times were the image works well both ways but does require work to obtain the desired outcome(s).

I’ve always tried to see an image I either colour or mono and stick to that. That said I’ve also converted a few slide images to B&W in the past when I wanted a good contrast boost. What I like most is to come back with a set of images that sit well together, three seems to be the ideal number from most trips.

I agree! I have a color brain and a black and white brain and they don't together at the same time. I had a long streak of black and white over summer then switched to color for Autumn. It is too much a struggle to chop and change as you say.

Me too, I can feel a mono spell coming this Winter.

I found this a really interesting video Steve. In the film era I really upped my walking game and to record my adventures I typically used two cameras, A Nikon F90x with Velvia and a Pentax ME Super with mono ( FP4, Delta 400, Tmax 400). I found that I recorded different scenes with the two cameras and they complemented each other, on some days only the colour images worked but on others it was the mono. On some days both worked but with different subjects. Nowa-digital-days I make the image and usually note the ones that might work best in mono but reserve the right to post judge that choice. One thing I do believe in is that if you have ever extensively shot mono you develop an eye for those compositions that will work best in that format when you take the picture. Great video - thanks.

I know what you mean Keith, I spent a few years where I only ever shot B&W film which helped train my eye for particular images. Mixing in colour weakens that ability but if I stick to one film type per outing I can generally start seeing shots that will work together as a coherent group.

No shame here Steve. It’s all part of it. You’re still one heck of a photographer! I do agree with everything you’ve stated. I for one am happy that at least you’ve proven Nikon F bodies are perfectly fine for landscape photography.

I think Nikon film bodies will be around for a very long time indeed 👍

I would go as far to say when shooting either we need to commit for a period of time to get into the swing of things, I started shooting black and white rollfim after ten years of colour digital this spring, im fully committed and loving it, going back to colour is distracting from a way of thinking.

Overall, I agree with you -- you need your vision tuned to what you're shooting, whether that's color or black and white. The one exception I've found for this is when the two are in very different formats -- not a pair of 35mm Nikons, same frame, same camera operation, you wind up stuck in the middle as you said -- but, say, my Reflex II with Fomapan, and my RB67 with 35mm Superia 400 (doing its Xpan imitation) does work. Switching mental gears between color and black and white at the same time as switching formats seems to avoid the "partial conversion" problems. Well, at least it works well for me...

Very interesting thoughts, Steve. When shooting film, I don't see a problem in taking two cameras out, since you either come across b/w scenes or color scenes. You want to be prepared! Carrying only a single camera body I often crinch at having decided e.g. to go for b/w and then seeing more color shots during the photo walk (or the other way round). But what becomes very clear is that photographic subjects are mostly "either or" and usually do not work equally well in color and monochrome.

Thanks Carsten. I hate it when I have an image that works in both colour and B&W. I think this is a failure as it is unclear what I intended to show when I pressed the shutter. I also find it much easier to use just one film on the shorter excursions, say an hour or two. For all day shooting the light changes so much it encompasses scenes that need a totally different approach.

Another awesome video, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I made a decision to only shoot B&W with my 35mm. So when I go out I decide what’s the weather like?, what do I want or hope to shoot? then I make my decision to go Digital or 35mm. Then I go out with the mindset of today I am shooting B&W or today I am shooting in colour, my muscle memory reverts to thinking in B&W or Colour and as you say the feel of the photos and the quality is far better.

It definitely works better for me when I decide at the outset what I’m trying to say.

The shot at 7:00 in black and white I actually really like, the contrast of the little birch (?) trees works very well against the background. A very moody and desolate image. But I do agree with you, taking all the options feels like a good idea at first, since you can take more creative approaches, but in the end you will have such a huge possible space of options to explore that it just muddies the waters and doesnt allow you to fully explore or focus on a single thing, whilst that is usually where the best shots happen. I still did enjoy the images and the video though. Looking forward to the ektar autumn video!

Funny, I have never shot colour & B&W together and I have no clue why.

I've just sold my Ektar because it's too saturated for my liking, but you could almost change my mind with those images. Important too (as you said) to have an idea what you want from the outing.

I agree though that it can be a bit difficult to switch your eye. I normally shoot B&W so I am used to looking at things with that "eye".

Hello Steve, I am always out and about with 2 cameras. One with color film and the other with BW film. With color film I also discovered the ectar for myself.

Just a couple of weeks ago I was out on a city streets shoot. Have a Hasselblad and brought one film back with Color and one with B&W. But wait there's more, I also brought my digital camera.

I've converted digital colour to B&W. Sometimes it really improves things but I agree - I've never produced anything special by that means. And its surprising how often I feel the need to keep a colour version as well, which must be telling me something... I've also set out with my camera set to B&W, got home and felt the need to revert to colour. I would say that's even less likely to succeed because it usually means, in my case, that there wasn't much in the way of composition to start with. At least digital mistakes are cheap!

Very true David. I often used digital cameras set to JPEG only when working in B&W so I was fully committed to mono.

Steve I have very mixed feelings on the subject. On one hand, I find shooting black and white on digital to be almost impossible. It's too clean, doesn't produce the same feel, and I have a hard time thinking in black and white with it. With film camera in medium and small formats, I generally don't mix color and black and white either.... But on 4x5 it's an entirely different story. Unless I'm going to shoot fall colors and don't want to even consider black and white, I bring both. And at least for me it works. I just have to ask myself what the scene calls for and not think about cost, developing, or getting hung up on one or the other. I've made some of my favorite color and black and white shots on the same day. But I can certainly see how putting pressure on yourself to shoot one or the other or both, is going hinder results.

Nothing wrong with taking two cameras with you, with two different films. However, experience should tell you, when you survey the scene, just what film/camera combo is going to be the one you use on the day. The other camera, you just leave behind, or carry with you just in case conditions do change to suit it more than your original choice. Though, if you have a specific look in mind for your trip, then just one camera/film combo will suffice. if the conditions change, then you go do something else until they change again, or call it a day.

I think the color ones came out better. I have found, much to my chagrin, that despite my personal high assessment of the wonderful thing that is me, and my personal self knowledge of my self-evaluated excessively high, IQ, because I am never one to be wrong and can never learn from others, that once in a while, I may stumble upon good information. I say stumble, because, being rather Einstein-like and without any moral turpitude, and with my personal humility being the one thing I am most proud of, stumbling upon a truth is my only option, for were it available through genius and perfection, I would already know it. Excepting run-on sentences, which I allow myself so I can display a touch of the common, thereby being humble, yet again. Still, I find your presentation thought provoking but it presents a dilemma, for genius and perfection being me, I wish always and everywhere the ability to completely satisfy my every whim which runs contrary to forcing myself to use a limited option when one could easily leave open many choices. Obviously this trait stems from my superior intellect which resists constraints of mere regular mortals, while some may speculate otherwise. Yet through it all, I am haunted by the possibility...can I be mistaken? Quickly I dismiss such thoughts as impossible because, well, I am perfect. I am, however, working on being less than perfect as I do not wish to challenge the Trinity, entirely, as that seems to result in bad outcomes. So, I am formulating a plan to deliberately be less than perfect, not only for the Trinity, but so as to increase my already fabulous humility. However, I have decided not to display my imperfections generally, but only within the realm of photography, since, being an art form, no matter what I do, there shall always remain a question... did he make an error there, or is it art? As you can see, the beauty of this approach is that I can have my cake and eat it too. I shall now inform my wife of my plans and assessments. Or, perhaps on second thought, stealth may be a better option? ;)

I cannot! I hated pro work where BOTH wanted. It was always less than perfect. BW from colour is a total loss..

Less is more!

Really good points Steve - I made the very same mistake earlier in the week. Going out with one film and one look in mind makes me much more intentional and selective, which in turn increases my success rate.

That's correct, I always take one roll of b&w film, or, colour film, I won't take them both, 'cause it could help me to concentrate. Thank you Steve.
