Good tips from mr. Rodgers.
In the weekend I will share some more tips. For now remember the golden rule:
film: expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights
digital: expose for the highlight, develop for the shadows.

This is the first step on to the path of a good exposure (and by the way also the first step to the zone system

(don't be afraid)).

B/W also affects composition and you can play tricks with light by using filters.

boy this sounds like a 5day course.
