Actually what you should do, if you have access to a raw image processing software, is to set your camera to capture in RAW but set the camera to display BW on your LCD monitor.
One of the tough choices when peering into the viewfinder is deciding how much of the scene we see is important.
The striking colors and graphic nature of a cheerleader’s decorated back “caught my eye” while I was on campus. I don’t know if they used the image but I liked it enough to make a picture.
It’s often overwhelming.
If you stood in front of the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls (insert your choice of natural wonder or manmade structure), you’re likely seeing something massive.
Our eyes function like a camera but we have a brain attached to them.
The camera requires “us” to decide, to choose.
If we can’t decide, we end up sticking a wide angle lens and taking everything in.
Having my Powershot G11 handy with me allows me to grab pictures on the go. Cellphones allow you to do that too. Having a camera with you all the time is the key
As we drift into the holiday season, admittedly I’m getting lazy to get outside with my camera specifically to shoot.
Having a point-and-shoot camera handy all the time is the best way of making sure you never miss something.
