Recently I've started taking a black and white photography class in school. I'm gonna have plenty of frames left over on my next role and was planning to shoot the rest of the role at the airport. My question is, are B&W film shots acceptable for the DB? I'm hoping they still are seeing as B&W film is still very much a part of modern photography, I feel jetphotos caters more towards the artistic side of photography anyway, so I'm hoping there's still room for them in the DB.

I'm just beginning to appreciate Mono myself, one tip that I can pass on is grain: It may be acceptable or even encouraged at club photography level but not at JP where it is seen as an imperfection rather than an enhancement. I'm not criticising this policy, JP have a reputation to uphold.
With that in mind, I tend to upload my mono stuff at 1024 or smaller to keep the grain under control.
At the end of the day the toys have to be put away....... G-BVHE. Grob G115. JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!

There still is nothing to beat the thrill and expectation of agitating an exposed paper in the developer dish to see what your print will look like. Waiting for the paper to come out the printer is just not the same.
Besides Brian forgot to mention being shut away in a cupboard with the smell of cat's p**s (fixer) filling the air. Nothing like it.Wallace

One thing nowadays is that we can have the best of both worlds - the joy of developing film coupled with the ability to work the image digitally. Even if for no other reason than making retouching a whole lot easier.
The desaturate tool is one way to go about appreciating monochrome, however there are better ways to achieve a monochrome image. Have a look at Russell Brown's web site, http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html The first item in the Adobe CS2 tips section is entitled "Black and White Variations." His own action and Tom Niemann's are my particular favourites.Wallace
