Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted July 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Guys I live in Malaysia and I am just away to get a new Leica Monochrom. My buddy also has a MM and we want to go away for say a 5 to 7 day trip and only shoot B&W. Any ideas within say a 1 to 5 hour flight of Malaysia where we could go and shoot street and anything else but only in B&W?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalHeMan Posted July 7, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2014 I've seen a lot of nice black and whites coming from Bali, that's fairly close. Added advantage that you could take the 240 and get some nice color shots as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rramesh Posted July 7, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2014 Anywhere is good. If in doubt, ask your pet dog. They pretty much see only in B&W. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted July 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2014 Agreed, anywhere and everywhere is good for B&W - it is how you see your environment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted July 7, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 7, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was going to suggest the moon, but it would take somewhat over five hours. How about China or Hong Kong? Not just street scenes but misty landscapes and architecture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 7, 2014 Share #8 Posted July 7, 2014 Black and white is purely a case of mental perception for humans. As you will have a singular intention, almost anywhere with a variety of shapes and lighting will give you abundant material for your new camera. Do share your results with us. Enjoy the experience.
