In general, I have no rules or limitations to my photography. I am not a purist. I get that the image will have a certain character if I were to use black & white film. My issue is that it is so much easier just to shoot on color film and convert in post. There are so many more advantages. Chief among them is the ability to control the color tones in the final image. For example, I could just increase the blues vs having to use a red filter in the field. I can tweak all the colors and contrast to get just what I want. It is my photo and my vision anyway, so I am good with it. Part of me does scream, “You are cheating!”. I just don’t listen to that part.
Shot on 4x5 film. One of my favorite locomotives at the railway museum. The Southern Pacific 3100 built by GE in 1963. This was converted in post to black and white from color negative film.
