I dusted off the Canon recently (for Christmas) and started snapping a few shots.  When I was shooting with film/slides, I liked to have a roll of B&W handy for certain situations.  One nice thing about B&W is that you don’t have to care about AWB and I think B&W in certain shots just gives a different perspective or “feel” than the same shot in color.  Anyways, it’s a lot more convenient to hit a few buttons and select “monochrome” than carry two types of film or a second camera body dedicated for B&W.  For this shot, I quite by accident blurred out the Christmas tree lights in the background, but I think it adds a nice background for the shot.

For this shot of Sammo, I messed up on the AWB, but I kinda like the off tint… and this was the start of his bath so the rest of the shots would have been water spraying on the lens.
