Really well done video Doriyan. I shot (and processed) black and white film for over 35 years, and now that I mostly shoot digital, I still do it in black and white. Be well.

You're damn right right I enjoyed the video!!! So much to think about in a 5 min video!

I agree with you, I shoot colour but black and white is my favourite choice nine times out of ten.

Same. Most of my favorite images of my catalog are in B&W!

lately i've been batch rendering all my photos in fuji x raw studio with a B&W recipe and a portra 400 recipe just so i can look at them from different perspectives and its definitely making me think more about how i want to focus on subjects or lighting if the actual photo just doesnt seem to be working in colour.

Great videos! But you need to have an outro. When the video ends right with you finishing your sentence there is no time for the viewer to visit your channel or give a like after watching the video because the next video already started.
