Re: [Digital BW] Re: B&W vs. Color

In one course I took, the first day we were handed a TLR medium format 
camera. After we calibrated the exposue quirks of the camera we were 
allowed only one roll of 120 film for each assignment. We had to bring 
the film it, process it in class and make all the prints in class. On 
some of the first assignments several people got nothing - blew their 
film. But the end of the class we all were shooting much better 
photographs since all the work was done prior to pushing the shutter 
release. That was probably one of the most benefical photography classes 
I've taken.
