    I think of black and white not as a mode, but an artistic choice. It is something deliberate and not a filter. If I use black and white film in a shoot then there is forcibly an esthetic that I am trying to capture. Even in digital photgraphy, I may have black and white jpegs, with my Fujis, but I will go back and transform my RAW image to really get what I’m after etc.

      Totally agree, but I need to use a word to describe my option or the shot … [I don’t know how to say it 😀] . [ BNW choice! | effect ? ] .. In black and white, I feel more soul and feelings.

      I am always always shooting in Jpeg and never use RAW or edit it, so here my artistic choice is permanent and can’t go back. Thank you for all your likes and support.

        I generally shoot in RAW and Jpeg at the same time. The jpes out of the Fuji just seem to get the feeling I’m going for.
        RAW is great for archiving, and does give you a huge latitude for editing. Maybe think about the Fuji X100F. It’s a great camer, handles well, and for jpeg shooters its film simulations are brilliant! And it’s well known for getting purely RAW shooters to think again. 
        I choose more bnw, because I like using film and love the type of image it gives me. I also grew up in an age where the photography in the newspapers was always black and white, and that seems to have stuck with me.
        Even when I shoot in colour and transform an image into bnw, I have more options with a RAW file and I have more control. I get wht I want, and not what some nifty electronics wants.
        Just putitng that out there. And if I’m going to follow somebody, it means that I have made a conscious choice to follow them, and not to support them is just nonsensical!
        This isn’t Instagram or TikTok. This blogging thing is more real. There is more thought that goes into it. When we share an image, or our thoughts in an article, then that merits some respect!
