Black and white photography is not just about turning colours into gray tones, it is like a translation from one to another language. To get a correct picture, you have know about translating the colours.

It does not matter if you work on traditional film ore with a digital camera, for both you need the skills for translating the colours. Wat is left is a composition, an emotion that is not affected by colour.
