Capture: Two Tone, in reply to Kyle Matthews,
A couple of nice wide questions, and I’m sure there will be more technically minded and able people to answer some of that….. I think about an answer and come up against my own technical limitations : )
But in general I could say that each medium has different qualities, a slightly (or very) different way of recording images their qualities are aimed at acheiving good pictures of their type. You can print black and white pictures from colour negs but they are generally rather soft looking as the colour neg is aimed at producing good colour prints. You can scan colour negs/pictures and convert them to black and white digitally and if you are good at using your software, and if the original picture is suitable you can get good results – probably better than photographically printing it as b&w.I don’t know about the more professional digital cameras, but my more compact numbers are geared to producing best quality in colour pictures so all the detail is recorded with this aim. That’s why the monochrome setting seems lack-luster to me – to get a nicer black and white pic out of this setting I’d have to use photoshop or similar, and I’m too lazy.
Leica are making a purely monochrome digital camera where the sensor and processing is geared to capturing black and white images with a range of tones more like a really lovely black and white film. I know I’m not going to get my hands on one of those…. would be nice.

Wisteria and foxgloves and delphiniums inside is unusual.
It's the Wintergarden glasshouses at the Auckland Domain. They had a beaut display of tulips in there a few months ago, it's all in cleverly hidden pots. It smells divine too : )
