1. When you get back to reality, I’d like to hear about conversion to b/w or shot in b/w. Those first two images of polar bears blow me away!!

   • Well, film is essentially defunct so everything is shot in digital, and in RAW, and in colour. If your primary aim was b&w, you could use a b&w view in the camera but you would still end up with a colour RAW file.

     In the old days, people shot b&w film and used colour filters over the lens to get different ranges of tonalities. People shooting a Leica Monchrom would still do it that way but the usual way these days is to shoot RAW colour and convert to b&w. Then you can apply your filters in the post-processing.

     I base myself in Lightroom and mainly use Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for monochrome conversions.
