Thanks to the soft ware access most of us have in our computers, we can make the colour photograph into a black and white frame! Although it wont't be the same as shooting in black and white mode, it nevertheless reminds us about what we are missing by abdicating black and white photography altogether.
I got introduced to photography when the colour photography was replacing black and white! So I did not have a good exposure to study the richness of the black and white photography.
Recently, in most international magazines there would be some black and white photographs to tell us something about its richness in tertian aspect.
One aspect I have begun to appreciate is the special texture it provides to human faces! It brings out human face in a unique way especially the mood and emotion if they are just subtle! The colours subdue them sometimes because in the blend of colours some details are masked!
I have begun to experiment with black and white frames by using the soft ware to compare the differences in colour and black and white! It is fascinating hobby to enhance visual observational skills!
