You should make a video about making stupid videos!

You should produce a class on B&W photography. You have a great speaking voice and are very easy on my eyes. Peace!

B&W film still beats digital every time. The sensor in digital cameras simply discard color information which is not the same as using silver halide b&w film. Most consumer printers make horrible b&w prints. Even some of the more expensive pro printers while better are still not that great. Nothing comes close to silver halide film and silver halide paper. I think it will be a few more years before digital comes close.

@trhisdone Yep I agree with you there, digital is cheapening the art of photography

If your Blacks need to be black and your Whites need to be white as discussed in your video, then you would probably end up with a full tonal range of grey between the black and white colours, wouldnt you?

I do both film and digital. When do b/w, 99% of the times I use film, which gives me much nicer prints (RC or FB). I have seen print from Mark III (by pros), and still do not see a good print quality (in particular in b/w).
