Digital BW, The Print

Whilst this may be considered heresy here, this is why some of us still like to indulge with our film cameras, and not just for nostalgia or to give our antique cameras an airing every now and then! One of the reasons why I joined this group was to learn how to create GOOD digital B&W (and also why have been a lurker since I did so), but like Andre here I am still struggling alas ....

  Jacob,
  I really have to wonder if using digital camera one achieve b&w prints such as the those shown on Jean Michel Berts website.

  I've tried it many times and my prints usually have what CD Tobie said in a previous post: "Looks rather like typically overdone HDR to me"

  If someone knows how to pull such b&w prints from digital cameras I'd really like to know also.

  Cheers,
  Andre
