I'm having a go at photography with good ol' 35mm film.

This is completely new to me. One day I will have a go at developing.


So, why is b&w film so much more expensive than color film?

If I take color shots, scan them into digital format, and make them black and white, am I "missing out" on anything that purely b&w film provides?

I guess it's more expensive because it's even less used than colour film.

The only thing you're missing is being aware of shooting a b&w roll while doing it. If you know that your shots will turn out b&w no matter what, you might shoot very differently, focusing closer on form than on colour.

i love the way light draws your photograph in the black. i think b&w represent the philosofy of good photograph. at least in my world it is like that. the fact some information is some how missing in blackandwhite and as someone said we (tent) to work a lot with forms, makes it very iconic for me. thats how i see a good photograph. its a clear vision of a situation, which will be accomplished by using the right proportions and spaces between the components in the picture. by the way of making this you will give these object or whatever a greater importance then they have in reality. you create your own vision of this moment and thats when you can call it art. then you can start thinking about your abstraction of your photographs and subjects, and explore how thin, and in some point of view very useless, these thoughts of you are. everybody how seriously wants to get in photography should start with shooting b&w. the use of color and b&w are indeed very different, but i think working with b&w has helped making a nice composition now i seeing all these beautyful colors in the summer

I still shoot B&W film. I like the feel it gives an image and the challenge of thinking in B&W. The grain of Tri-X gives it an atmospheric effect especially on overcast of foggy days. It's like an old friend and just converting it in post-processing (although I do it regularly) is not the same as loading up a roll of B&W and going out to see what you can get without color as an option.

colours is more expression, but B&W is beautifull, elegant

Using a laptop means that you're going to need enough space to store your files, install your software and do everything that you want to do on the computer. There a lot of things to consider when you purchase a new hard drive for your laptop. Below, you will find with some of these things are and why it's important to shop around for hard disk drives for sale so that you can find the precise laptop hard drive that you want to buy.
1,Look for a hard disk drive that has enough space to meet your needs
Knowing how much space you need on your hard drive can be a difficult thing. Often times, people don't think they need much space but then they come to realize that they needed more than they originally thought. For instance, some people think that they just need to purchase a hard drive that is going to cover their files. For instance, if they have about 10 gigabytes of files, they may purchase just a 20 to 40 gigabyte hard drive. The problem with this is that you are not accounting for the operating system. If you plan to run an operating system like Linux or Windows on the computer, then you need to purchase a hard drive that has enough space to properly run the operating system and store your files. There are other things to keep in mind as well, for instance, what software are you going to be putting on the computer? Software can take up a lot of space on a computer, especially games and software that is very complex. These types of software titles can get up into several gigabytes of space, so you need to have a big enough hard drive to accommodate for these applications.
2,Remember that it's okay to go over what you need but it's not okay to go under
Of course, you can easily see there are so many laptop hard drive for sale online, when purchasing a hard drive, it's okay to purchase more gigabytes than you actually need, just like me, I love installing lots of games, so I bought a big sony laptop hard drive in advance. However, if you were to purchase less gigabytes than you actually need, this is not going to be okay because you won't be able to do the things that you want to do on your computer. Be sure to shoot for more disk space. Keep in mind that installing a hard drive on a laptop can be more complicated than installing a hard drive on a desktop computer. You also need to accommodate for the installation costs when you're going to have a company install this for you. Look online and do some comparison shopping so that you can find the best laptop hard drive for a price that makes sense for your budget.
