I'm well into my 70s and have never liked tattoos. I grew up in Brooklyn and that's where only for the badasses. I never saw a girl with a tat until the 70s when in Florida the topless dancers were covered with them, so the thought was you needed to be a slut to cover yourself with them. Most of the dancers were also whores flaunting their wares. But today I'm seeing a change I see lots of actors removing their tats, Male and female. Jobs where your tats might be exposed could keep you on unemployment. Disneyworld will not hire anyone with an exposed tat or piercing, why, the persona linked to it. I shot several nudes but mine are usually bodyscapes so most of body in shadows but in the event a model had a tat and might appear in a shot I frowned upon it. I worked for DDB Worlwide, one of the largest Advertising agency's in the world and never did a model show up for a shoot bearing a tatoo

It's like painting over the Mona Lisa, a beautiful woman isn't any more beautiful by covering herself with a brand.

I never had a problem keeping batteries in my cameras, these are all hi end Nicad batteries used in my Nikons, Kodak and Leicas each costing over $100 and have never had a leak or failure.

Sorry Lithium batteries.

Well actually it says something about the battery quality. Or maybe you forgot that you charged it a couple of days ago.

No still haven't charged it, still showes 207 images remain to be shot mb out of 250.

Are your cameras display only, or are you actually using them sometimes?

My cameras are my love and the only thing keeping me from using them daily is a fall down a flight of stairs that just about crippled me. I took them all out the other day and cleaned them all and recharged all the batteries. For the past day or so have been playing with them. A big problem is both hands pins and needles not much feeling.

Don't blame your spell checker. You spelled "batter" correctly. It doesn't know that you used the wrong word.

I wonder "y"

You left batteries in your camera for a year and a half?
You are lucky they didn't leak and destroy your stuff.
I take my batteries out even its just for overnight.
Camera's, flash units, anything that has a battery.

Am I better off shooting in monochrome

The raw will get you both so why also the jpg?

Because I can do what I want with the Raw file and not be afraid of losing my original image.It also gives me the ability to look over the jpeg before I process it.

Hahaha😊 Damm spell check!

Was absolutely amazed today! I decided to look over my cameras today, first time in a year and a half. I found all of my batteries needed recharging, except one, the battery in my Leica M8 was still fully charged! Says something for Leica quality.

Am I better off shooting in monochrome

I usually shoot to give me both a Raw and a jpeg, in color then if I want to create monochrome can use my Raw file. On my Kodak I could save as a jpeg and reduce color and get a grey scale and still retain color.

Best Retouching Dyes For B&W Film/Prints

I basically used No 3 gray and toned it down with water or built it up with multiple passes.
