Well, I hesitate to say this, but in fact everyone who wants to transcend the basic level of photography should try shooting black and white film, playing with green, yellow and orange filters, get a basic insight in the relationship between exposure and developement time, develop the film themselves and print it on various papers with various developers.

This is not meant to say that if you haven't done this you don't count, no. It's just that this is a very rewarding experience that deepens your insight in greys and the way "colours" translate into them.
Colours between brackets because ultimately they don't exist. They are "only" vibrations we interpret as colours. Or as greys. But that is rather abstract.

But the effect of those three/four filters (yellow, orange, red and green) on the distribution of greys is spectacular. And seeing an image appear on that sheet of paper...

Not to talk about the toxic fumes, the risk of scratch-lines over the whole length of your film etc etc ...

There are no Borg. All resistance is fertile.
