I can only agree with much of what has been said. I used to shoot B&W film and develop it myself and loved it. It has been said that B&W film has a much wider dynamic range than color and I tend to agree with that too. That said, shooting in RAW also gives you a wide dynamic range and lets you control how the image is converted to B&W, a valuable asset. If Ansel where still with us I think he'd have embraced digital fully at this point. Enjoy your class Christine. There is nothing quite like working on your images in a darkroom. And the chemical smells are not that bad. ;']
