Here's a few recent pics of an older project with an ugly trigger. Thanks for your input.   | ||

I voted colour. It adds a dimension that the B&W misses. Von Gruff. | |||

+1 on the color, the B&W looks a bit washed out. | |||

I voted colour. Suppose I just want to see it the way it really is. | |||

I voted color, I think that b&w can work well for metal work that is being displayed, but since this picture, to me, seems focused on the stock I think color is needed to show the colors and variations in the wood. Red | |||

It depends on what you are looking for. The wood color and finish are much better suited to the color photo, but IMHO, the checkering has better contrast, and thus shows better in the B&W photo. Also the wood pores just forward of the bottom point in the checkering appears to be "noise" in the B&W where it is clearly sealed pores in the color. I voted color.

I voted B&W. I think the little details show-up better in B&W. BTW. I am glad you posted both. Also, it is almost criminal to tease us with such a tiny glimpse. We need more photos!

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure."

But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

For me, color. I suppose B&W can render certain compositions more impact or "feelings" but I like to see things how they are, or, at least closer to the way I'd see them in person. Thinking back, I can't recall EVER seeing a photo of a firearm as the main subject that wouldn't have looked better in color to my eye. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

When I see a B&W shot like that I'm always a bit suspicious. Like was the white balance so wrong that the image was converted? I don't think that trigger is ugly, it looks like it would fit your finger quite nicely and that's what counts. "When doing battle, seek a quick victory." | |||

It's hard to tell with picture quality that low.  ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Given a choice I would prefer a book of customs to be predominantly recorded in tones, with the occasionaL color print thrown in.., same goes with marble or bronze sculptures. | |||

James, I also went with the color and you are way too critical of your checkering. It is very very good. Enjoyed the chat tonight. | |||

Given the two examples above, most people will pick the color photo. If you are looking at metal only, a properly light b&w photo, using high resolution film will show better than color. Of course I'm an old guy who grew up in a black and white world. Dave | |||

The use of a lighter background will get you a better result, especially with B&W photos. cheers, - stu | |||

+1 on the lighter background. | |||

I refuse to choose. I like both. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||
