Tried bringing some B&W greenman flair to the American Southwest:

Visited the beautiful and very old Masonic churchyard in the village of Glamis today. The oldest stone I could find was from 1730.

Where's this taken? Kind of like it but also brings to mind Alan Partridge on his ramble, pointing at leaves on the floor and saying "someone should clear all this up".

Rodborough Common, probably created by a Stroudie artist, normally its just a load of "kev waz ear" arrangements.

Where is best for hosting photos? A quick check of this page suggests imgur, but I went to the site and it seems to be more of a social media thing. I'd just like a simple way of managing and linking to photos. I'd use my Google Drive, but I don't think you can hotlink images with that.

It plays up that aspect but its a pretty good standard image hosting site, tends to darken shots a little in my experience but pretty good quality and obviously lets you hot link.

Bad weather means editting of more Patagonia shots from last feb.

Cor! That's some crag is that.

How do you decide when to go monochrome? Do you just have a sense of how the finished image will look, or do you decide in post?

greenman

If I'm too lazy to get up early in the morning to get nice colours then I go monochrome.

Basically when the shot has more interesting texture to it that can be played up more with monochrome or when some of the colours might be distracting.

holyzombiejesus

This might be a thicko question but, presuming you're shooting digitally, is there a difference in shooting in monochrome and just applying a B&W/ monochrome effect to a colour photo? Wouldn't the camera have the same information and just translate it according to what kind of setting it was on?

Most people(and me) these days would shoot in colour at the time and then convert to B&W afterwards, means you have more options in terms of choosing the conversion, weighing the brightness level of each colour.

The first one especially is a very good shot.

Sometimes I'll go out with the intention of shooting B&W, and I'll set the camera jpg to B&W, which sets the view finder to B&W, and helps me with composition. Because I'm crap at working out the difference and not being distracted by colour. But the RAW file is still in colour and if I don't like the jpg I can still process the RAW file, either in colour or B&W as I see fit.

Yeah that does seem popular although these days I don't do it much because the end product B&W image is generally going to have so much manipulation on it that the preview isn't much help.
