I’m very lucky to have two main jobs, both of which I enjoy – stills photography and television camera operation. I work on T4 as a camera operator a lot, and they just got a new set with lots of colourful neon lights so I was asked if I could bring in my camera and get some behind the scenes and action shots for the studio website. I also had a go at doing some for myself in black and white. I like to use the Nikon D700’s B&W mode. It’s a lot more flexible than most digital camera B&W modes, with extra controls for contrast, brightness, and colour filter to change tones of grey to suit the scene (I usually leave it on orange). The result is a nice punchy B&W with more character than if you just removed all the colour data like most B&W modes do.
(I’d still like to run them through PS for individual tweaks to contrast and brightness but these are all untouched, straight out of the camera.)

I’ve been looking around for inspirational and informative blogs on photography (my newest interest.) I’m loving your photographs! Hope to pick up more techniques as I play with my camera.
