Finding myself in Black & White

Night with LC and OSL-1, originally uploaded by Mervin Chiang.

I found myself doing more and more black and white renderings lately. Maybe I should read up more on them. I think it's a unique view of things. Forces me to look at the subject and story more than the colors of the frame.

Also, I've finally gotten my 17-55mm "utility" lens and also my got the 70-200mm telephoto lens a few days back. My set is nearly complete. All I need now is a good wide aperture portrait lens with a way to do macro shots and my kit is complete for a while.

I also got a cool Monfrotto strap for my tripod that sticks to one leg and can be used to sling over my shoulder. Very good indeed!
