How about photography ; B & W ?

kristof .

Kristof, this has been discussed in the past, and suggested by a few members, including noahnott, and myself. at one point, I proposed a filter for viewing (like what exists now for image shapes/sizes) and *caedes seemed to indicate he thought it was a good idea. Unfortunately.... it never got anywhere. who knows? maybe this time it'll have a better chance. good luck :o)

The problem with a B&W gallery should be the same (but bigger) than with the people gallery. In this one, some members are uploading 'my nephew' or my grand mother'... :-/
The first idea with the people gallery was to upload typical portraits, or ethnic, or attitude works, not family souvenirs.

The B&W needs specific settings and needs to 'think B&W' before to take the photo. Not when you are editing with PS. We should see a lot of 'B&Wted' images in that gallery.

I went into the perms and looked for good B&Ws. The proportion of B&W are the most important in the portraits (people) and in the architecture galleries. Not sure that the members would like to see their images moved in a specific B&W gallery though...

I would love to see my images in a specific B&W gallery....I shoot a lot of B&W (a small number are 'B&Wted' I must admit, but oh well, I like to play around in PS!!) I'm a huge fan of B&W, but I know a lot of people on here aren't, so I understand any reservations with a specific B&W gallery.

We should have one for a craze that's going on called OOB ( out of bouberies) though the technique is old, it's fun to work with. I just did my first one today and I'm hooked already.
