Woos Walk On the Wild Side

Maybe: but, "altered images" are all part and parcel of the scrapbook hobby and in those circumstances I have no issues with playing around with image software filters.
Mind you, I suppose if you consciously decide to change your camera mode to B&W technically you are still altering the intended image in the same way as if you changed your film from a colour to black and white one. After all, our world isn't black and white, even when viewed through a camera lens.

 

Yes, but changing the camera's function isn't physically altering the picture after the event. I prefer to leave them the way the camera takes them and as my eye sees them through the viewfinder.

My apologies Woo for diversifying on your thread.

 

awesome mood photos there.. I like the atmosphere you caught !
