Black and white photography is for wannabe artists who don't know how to take a good color photo. Discuss.

Real black and white will always capture finer detail than color.

Wow what an original and brave thought that I’ve never encountered in 16 years of browsing /p/.

Kys yourself.

General B&W no, but Tri-X is. It was Winogrand's crutch for a good reason.

Black and White is neat for creating contrast but I feel like B&W "film" filters for digital cameras are dishonest and constitute overediting.

Black and white is for pulling details out of a scene that is normally hidden by all the different colors competing for your attention.

They are and do. It's still bayer. Having a digital camera converted via CFA removal is based though. You basically triple your megapixels.

Gasp

>amateur artists create amateur work
Double gasp

No shit B&W looks like its done by amateurs, it's most people's first try at hobby level photography. 3/4 of the B&W shots you see are literally done by amateurs. You're also ignoring all the shitty color photos you see and don't even register as attempted art because unlike B&W, there's no specific visual queue to draw your attention to the fact that they're trying to be artsy

Black and White take you straight towards the essential.

Colors are peak demiurgic.

No you really don't. You don't pick one channel and discard the rest when you convert a color photo to B&W. Yeah they're all filtered one color or another but that's what demosaicing is for.
Removing a CFA is based in that it shows dedication to a particular style of photography but it won't suddenly unlock masses of hidden detail, except for letting you lower your ISO one or two stops.

Fomapan is some of my favorite film. I just wish it didn't scratch so easily.

You stop demosaicing with a converted camera. That's how you get better res.

with b&w, I feel there is a sense of drama that is sometimes missing/hard to replicate with a full color image

I need info on this. Do you just edit the CFA info in the raw file such that raw converters will interpret it correctly or is the only option to convert into a more general raw file say tiff, then how?

Thank you - I like it a lot.. mostly because I actually planned the shot and knew what I wanted to get *before* I got it - slow-ish shutter, sense of movement, etc

I also took *a lot* of photos in the process of getting that particular shot, which I think is the best of the series

this thread has inspired me to look back through some of my recent b&w photos - so I guess I'll dump them here

use hardening fixer, or buy hardener for the fixer you're currently using. the wash time will be longer but it won't get any scratches later when scanning or enlarging and keeps it archival.

Color photography is for faux-artists who don't know what is or how to take a photo of interesting subject so they use color as a distraction
