Knowledge

MCP's aim is not only to represent excellence in monocolour photography but to share the knowledge as well. We are starting a collection of tutorials in the future. In case you know of any good tutorials dealing with monocolour techniques (be it analogue or digital darkroom) please send a note containing a link to the tutorial and we will add it to the collection.

"Using the Desaturate-feature only to convert a colour photograph is probably the worst way to do a conversion. Its result is a muddy, flat and dull bw-photograph." (Quote from a video tutorial about bw conversion)

Update

MCP-Member *euristis wrote a tutorial in 3 languages about how to clean the sensor of a digital SLR. Have a look at it here.
