When I saw your amazing 3d effect achieved by focus ranges in almost black b/w <br /> <br />http://www.skinbase.org/rate.php?skins=30093 <br /> <br />today I was thinking WOW this is almost impossible but it works. That question of yours reminds me - just like the art of movies (Charlie Chaplin, I preferred many of his silent artworks which were quite early to some of his modern things with sound, and I really was at his house in Hollywood and read his biography) - TRUE photographers not only often demonstrate abstract thinking is more essential than whether color or not, ironically and tragically we are now experiencing the only side effect of color getting so accessible and popular to everyone - people dont even get into b/w. That way, they dont start in the right order. Thinking - drawing - painting (in your mind) - then deciding what part of your message you want to make dominant in getting your vision across best. The b/w FORCES you to see, if well done, that its not about JUST which color could be here... it says: <br /> <br />Here are the INNER key components and shades. In fact it often REMOVES problems that come in on the potential next step - colors. This results in a traditional OBLIGATION to keep true art alive soley maintainable by serious artists. Ironically, this is the part that needs less hard- and software requirements. So industry does not accentuate that :( :( <br /> <br />Then again, I see your colored church <br /> <br />http://www.skinbase.org/rate.php?skins=29764 <br /> <br />from out of a window (your windows are great in b/w AND color) and enjoy it without even realizing - its master GT at work. Its just a great color piece. (although you manage to even keep a certain faith to your style in color, night colors a tricky example for my statement, hmh, amazing) <br /> <br />Nowadays - it can get REALLY interesting where all parties border with their skills and possiblities. As indicated by you up there, its another challenge what you can MOUNT on or ADD to a b/w CREATION or b/w photo with ADDITIONAL ARTIFICIAL COLOR. But not too much color, otherwise the b/w is just one of the colors. Great proof of this at its best for me this week was one of nastja´s poodles: <br /> <br />http://www.skinbase.org/rate.php?skins=30109 <br /> <br />Artur, keep SOME b/w alive. Not many can do this anymore in the future - especially on meeting points with amateurs around, including me. This is something for pioneers. Glad we still got some left over :congrats <br /> <br />What do the other artists specialize in? Or do you have several trends? Was thinking I should answer later or not at all, but darn, this is a topic I would hate to see neglected :taxi <br />
