New E-30.. First posting since November!!..

Apologies for not posting since November. As some of you might now I have relocated to Dublin, Ireland from Seattle in the United States, with challenges on getting broadband, pains of the relocation its been hard to keep it updated.  But I will be doing this now again regularly and my next posting will be about my recent acquisition of an E-30. I will be posting some test shots and impressions on the camera.

Tips on <Wildlife in B&W>

Is not so hard to choose when a scene might be better suited for B&W or a color composition. Scenes where animals have colorful characteristics, or the entire scene has very saturated colors are better snapped in color, on the other hand, moody skies, harsh sunlight or interesting textures might be better suited for B&W

Its easy to select when to leave color	Textures and abstracts can make interesting B&W shots

When the weather takes a turn for the “worse”, low light, moody cloudy skies are usually the best opportunities to go for B&W. Remember you are trying to convey a mood, not any specific details of the animal or subject you are shooting.

Because of their color and textures, elephants, rhinos, gorillas and chimpanzees make for great portraits in B&W

Another trip to remember is that the more contrast the better so don't be afraid to shoot on harsh conditions which will accentuate this contrast.
