[Digital BW] Re: RGB Convert to Grayscale

2003-11-28 by flyfishingusa2002

Ed, 
You need to get a camera that can shoot raw and keep up with you. I 
shoot in Raw and large JPG, that's a option with the 10D. I seldom 
get a jpg from the camera that can match the jpg that I obtain after 
converstion from the RAW file using PS.
I looked at your web site and your shots are great,go to show that a 
good pic does not need to be technically great. I really like your 
street scenes.
