    We had a talk last night from Neil McShane where he presented his B&W Landscapes. He does some stunning work, which you can see on his website blackandwhite.ie

    When people ask him which camera he uses he answers "A small black one" he has owned quite a few cameras & he ussually cannot remember exactly which one it was. It also doesn't make a lot of difference. Some of his shots have been taken on a Canon G10, for example this one of the Dark Hedges

    I do like that answer though ..... A small black one :D

    /cue the clichéd "oh so he's only got a little one" joke with the "proof of bigger aint necessarily better" retort, but maybe avoid the "its about what you do with it rather than what you have" - cameras folks, cameras i'm talking about.

    I know Neil (Navan Camera Club) and yes his work is stunning. He showed some of his stuff at the club just before Xmas and it is something to see in the flesh. The website doesn't do it justice, but well worth a look. Mind you, he is a harsh judge when it comes to our club competitions :eek:

    I see Neil is having an exhibition in DCC which started last Friday. Well worth a visit if anyone is around.

    great composition there!
    I'm still struggling somewhat with B&W, are some of these done in some form of HDR? or is it a different process.

    yes the G 10 is a good piece of kit for the size of it ;)

    No HDR there at all. Neil went through his process.He uses Grad ND filters when taking the photo instead of doing it in PP. Shoots to the right as far as possible. He uses Lightroom & Photoshop, but nothing fancy, just dodging & burning. He also does not believe in dropping in skies etc.

    What do mean by he shoots to the right as far as possible?

    When shooting RAW you try to keep the histogram weighted to the right. The shot will look over exposed but that is corrected in PP.
