Outside my Comfort Zone

My first ever black and white image! I bought a DVD about Black & White Photography which is specific to Canon EOS cameras. It's amazing - I'm learning all about coloured filters and what their effect is on black & white pictures and why and when to use them.

But most importantly, I'm now shooting and processing in RAW rather than processing JPEGs in Elements. I'm using the software supplied with my camera which means the changes available are exactly the same as are available in-camera. I know, I know - all you experienced guys out there already know all this :-), but for me it's new and exciting. I confess to getting in a bit of a muddle as I'm used to downloading my photos straight from the card into the computer, but in order to use this software I have to do it using the cable connection and I haven't yet found out how I delete the images from the card once I'm happy I have them all safely stored away. But I soon will!!

I left my second image for today in colour because I just think it's better that way.
