BLACK & WHITE

I love experimenting with images to use in Graphics applications. One

of the biggest queries I've had is Type Fonts. I read that True Type

Fonts are suppossed to be among the best for maintaining their Integrity

when sizing an image, but I often wonder. If anyone knows, I'd love any

information on this query. (comments welcome, thanks for viewing, Gail)

Always amazing!!(7).

Cheers.

Superb B & W work Gail, in your inimitable style. A big well done from me.

Hello Gail, This is the first time I've seen you use B&W as the format for your image. I like the contrast and the presentation. You have also managed to keep soft tones. As always nice PP work. Take care and thanks for your recent visit.

Best Regards,

Holger

Of late for some strange reason I am insane over black and white works so much so I have convereted one of my 5D's into and IR camera to allow me to have a unique approach in black and white work.  I think this image with the play and the process work does justice to black and white work but I think the image itself is well done and tasteful I admire the work and thought you put into all your images and your comments and your commitments... this is why I find a deep repect for your work and you... Your Mate down under MJ

Beautifullly presented in B/W.

My best regards.

Thankyou kindly Alberto for your enthusiasum and encouraging comments, they are so appreciate, most sincerely, Gail

Truly appreciate your encouraging and enthusiastic comments on this image Tony, most sincerely, Gail

It isn't often that I waunder over to black and white, don't know what I'm so scared of.  Did this image back in the summer and didn't get up the guts to post until Sunday. Thankyou for your kind comments , I do apprecite them so much. Warm regards, Gail

Hey there MJ,

I love black and white work, just have never done much of it, and as I commented to Holger, just haven't 'walked that way' very much ever.  I take awhile to learn some things.  Sounds like you're going to have a bit of fun with the camera you converted.  Sounds really interesting, is it Digital???(my knowledge of cameras should be much better than it is seeing my Dad has so many).  Finding the time right now has been difficult.  I posted a bit more this week as I was a bit 'under the weather', my new Pup has been teething and poor thing has had a fever at times, just 'rangy' at times, and restless. So I worked on some images when I could, at night, so my husband could get a good nights sleep.  I'll be trying more in black and white this year I think.

Take care Mate....how warm is it down under these days??? Pretty cold here, cheers for now, Gail

Thank you so much for your visit and input, truly do appreciate hearing from you, kindest regards, Gail

like the b&w processing very much, congrats!

So glad you liked the image, many thanks for taking the time to drop in...sincere regards,GAil

I have no yet answer for your question,but this one has something that make me to look at it for few minutes,interesting idea but most of all how you composed and did this,my best thoughts.

Thanks for your vist, and hope the image was mostly pleasing, sincere regards, Gail

yes, your stile is really inimitable

Beautiful my friend, the b/w format is amazing here and changing the characteristic of this image into some thing very appealing and interesting, plus the quality of your light, your presentation is also adding a great impact to the skilled composition of this work.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

This is a very successful venture into new territory for you... I think.

The separation or foreground and background is striking.  You are definitely on-to-something with this concept...

It might even work with color, such as with a monochrome background and a polychromatic foreground.

This even took me back to a pub in Boston, that was near my office, called The Black Rose.

This is a gorgeous, elegant, composition Gail! Love the choice of B&W for this image. The presentation of this image takes it over the top! Beautifully done Gail!

As for the font question - most printers use postscript type 1 fonts, with the multiple master series being the most desirable.  True type fonts can apparently do anything that the postscript fonts can do only better, but there's a real lack of quality fonts available in true type. You can read more detail on fonts in this article: http://www.truetype-typography.com/articles/ttvst1.htm

All the best,
Neil

Really beautiful original b/w-work, Gail!

A different artful look of the beautiful roses, this time resulted from your p/p work and nice manipulation over colors and tones. You made it so more beautiful and fabulous! Bravo.

Hamid.

The b/w is awesome, Gail. The presentation is right up there with you usual great work. Well done, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

This composition in B&W is very elegant and very well done! 7 ;)

Like your work!

Thankyou for that wonderful comment, truly appreciated.  Sincerely, Gail
