The "Colours" of Black & White

I always like black & white photos. Back in old days when I was still using film camera, monochrome film was always expensive to me. Thanks to the model technologies, shooting black & white photos becomes a cheap and easy job. Just adjust your digital camera setting to Black & White mode...walah! monochrome photos in no time! So, you might say that black & white photo is just as simple as that? Just photo without colours? The truth is, in between black and white, there are many layers of grayscale. It is not easy to capture a really good monochrome photo directly from your digital camera. Post precessing need to be done in order to make your digital monochrome photo comes alive. Or else, it is just an ordinary "colourless" digital photo. But of course, no matter how well you post processed your digital monochrome photo, it still can't beat the true colour of film monochrome photo. Any how, I am on my way, achieving that level. My journey begins here. It is now almost end of 2008, I have selected a few photos and converted into monochrome photos.
