B&W vs. color

[ARTBOWSHIER]

I saw on a PBS show on apes in Africa. it went in and out of color to B&W--they said it was easier to see the dark apes in the bright foilage. I think it was a BBC show... who here uses B&W film or have cameras/camcorders capable of B&W and zoom?

You can also change the granular of a photo to see a hiding FF better. Check out this Pic (http://www.bigfootreferenceguide.com/showthread.php?t=31) that I took in Ind. with Jan and little .

I would be afraid to show anyone a good photo and let them know where it was shot.And, around Idiots w/guns will only get themselves killed by the one/s they didn't see. Sightseers and such and make bf move on.

Quality B&W might show more because the color is enlivened in processing and the darks and contrasts are muddied up.A dark or black creature will just be a blobsquatch on color film Where black and white film voids color and sharpens contrasts and different shades. It may come out sharper and clearer.

All I ever see in color are blobsquatches--on most bf sites. Videos are far away or blurry. Night vision is useless unless bf shows up. I was wondering if anyone here was into b&w? There are low lux cameras and camcorders and ones that can change to B&W. Or, those open enough to different ideas to try it in the field

Yes we do need to be very careful on how much info that we give out for locations. If anyone posts to the Sighting Forum Please be aware of this. There are still the Pro-Kill Researchers out there and we do not need one of them or a Research partner getting injured/killed by a FF Family member. They will protect their own and themselves.

I do like your ideas of using black and white, we have never tried this technique ourselves, but I will check into this.

I am very open to try your ideas, and Manufacturers do keep improving on Higher Mega Pixel cameras and video. The lower lux available the better.

I am not sure if any other Members use this method, it is a great question to bring up. Thank You

I am into photography and I have dark room equipments for B&W films . Both 35 mm and 120 . The equipments are in storage in cool and dry place.

Black and white shows more details than color pictures.

With right software you can change your videos to black and white. I have a camcorder which I hardly ever use. Got equipment like Dazzle 80 to download the video but my hard drive is 4gib and is a antique. Need larger hard drive to do videos.
