Re your sentence I snipped, there are frequent conversations in For Your Consideration such as you describe. Sometimes one has to follow the thread for a page or more until the "main course" is delivered
People who aren't finding what they want should be pro-active and DO IT YOURSELF.
I also agree that showing examples in main discussion should be the norm, and I would also support the suggestion I saw last year about people being required to have a "Ten Best" page on UHH before being allowed to comment in discussions
The longer a thread stays active in main discussion the less I care whether it devolves. But as you saw, I get very cranky when the first response or several on first page are rude or irrelevant, making it that much more difficult to attract meaningful discourse.
Amen.

Hey Now, I started the snipping first. I know I could have said what I said in a much nicer way.. I don't think you could ever rub me the wrong way, you call them like you see them. Like I said, your a sweet heart

LOL, in my above use of "snip," I meant the sentence I quoted from your longer entry Hey Now, I started the snipping first. I know I could have said what I said in a much nicer way.. I don't think you could ever rub me the wrong way, you call them like you see them. Like I said, your a sweet heart
Thank you, Martin - happy holidays!

Monochrome will capture the soul of an image if the colors aren't interesting , still color can produce interesting photos but B&W goes all the way to the soul + B&W can be more forgiving . It has been said when you shoot in color it only gets to the surface . So everybody commit on this subject .
To me its the opposite, the world is full of color and to replicate it in color goes to the "soul". I enjoy watching all the different colors in the world, it makes me happy!

You need courage to capture an image that no one has ever seen before.

That depends on what is being photographed.

This discussion has given me the resolve to shoot more in black and white, but in general I think it adds soul in some cases to shoot a n. B&W, but Rob's images of soul in others.

I was wondering who Rob is and how he got involved before I realized that was probably a bad autocorrect. 😜🤪

Thank you for clarifying your view, Martin. I was misled by your comments into believing that you didn't think much of the topic raised by the OP and of photography discussions in general. And yes, I find your images astounding, especially the spiders!
Best wishes to you and family....

Black and white was truly wonderful in it's day. Leave it there. My eyes do not see in B&W, they see in color.

We've gone around the monochrome
- color issue a few times but I always find it an interesting topic. I love B&W but I also believe that content/subject is the most important aspect of a photograph. And some content is better in B&W, some in color. So it all depends.

My old mentor sometimes said that B&W is more real than color. B&W allows the viewer to imagine whatever color they like.
