PRESENTATION
“There are some pretty good reasons why black-and-white has come back from the dead. Eric Hatch’s presentation will explore the differences and advantages of black and white photography vs. full color. And since this is a world of color-based digital cameras, we will learn how to use them to produce great black and white images. We will learn how to use your camera to get the best results, and we will go over techniques for “seeing” in black and white, including using the Zone System to improve your exposures in BOTH color and black and white.
Finally, the educational presentation ends with a look at two practical ways to get better black-and-white conversions of your color originals.”

CRITIQUE
Second Part: Critique Your B and W Images. Submit up to 3 images, at:
Eric is an experienced photo judge and Critiquer. He believes that photo critique should be positive, concrete, actionable, and be keyed to well-known principles of good photography. Concrete means tied to an element of your image. Actionable means you can do something about it — change a setting, re-compose — but no “move the mountain” or “rent a helicopter” advice. Critique should be keyed to well-known principles to keep it from being just a quirky notion or prejudice of the critiquers.
