We went through some Histogram concepts and discussed if and we when use them. Then looked at B&W and used some ideas from the DPS book. Mel, Deb and Adam provided samples of their work in B&W (and colour) and we discussed their merits in each format. A very worthy thing to do. Looked very briefly at methods to go from Colour to B&W and we also discussed the merits of shooting RAW for his and general purposes.
