The in camera black and whites tend to be less muddy than those processed in post. Yes, giving your clients options is good, but so is you having artistic control over what they order that is a representation of your work. It was really neat NOT to have the option to go back to color. It pushed me to really think about my shot from start to finish IN CAMERA rather than just shoot like a mad woman and plan on fixing everything in post. :)<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!<BR/><BR/>NatI'm Natalie.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03306521406053336039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-91506689300211238342009-01-20T12:53:00.000-10:002009-01-20T12:53:00.000-10:00Simply gorgeous, Natalie.

I am sooo super "motivated jealous". (That's the non sinful kind that I am allowed to be.)<BR/><BR/>Lately, I am stuck in a designer's trap. That means that I don't function much in my own life because I have to make sure the project that I am advising on, is getting installed to my nitpicky detail satisfaction. Never mind the homeowners level of concern.... I have to see it through to my vision! <BR/><BR/>I hope one day I am as good of a photographer as I am as a designer.
