I went to a photoshop conference. There was a session on converting color to black and white. Basically at the end the presenter said you try a bunch of ways and pick the one that looks best.
(people there were really looking for the “one true way”)
I shot a lot of black and white film in college for our paper. One of my obsolete skills was thinking how an image would look in black and white while shooting, though I never understood the people who could look at a scene and decide to use a red filter..
I am shooting a lot of 120-format Ilford HP5+ these days. It's a different pace, a different way of thinking about the craft.
Dark skies and dramatic clouds!
