I'm not convinced I did the best job of sharing tips / advice here, so I'll cover individual points in detail in future videos. What was the most interesting point raised, you think I should start with?

How to “see in black and white”. Since you’re ignoring colour, what are you looking for? Could apply that to different kinds of photography, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, etc.

Presses pause at 29 seconds.. I'll start this comment by saying I have never been to Dover... as a starting point, as a passing through point etc. :) I am having a catch on stuff today and just opened my you tube to find a notification from your good self. Let's see what you are up to. Dover does not look how I imagined it to be honest, firstly, I think of the docks/harbour whenever it comes up - as I think all that the GB public see on the news is that view. Have to say the water looks a lovely aqua marine colour. Some good points and so well presented. What a great set of images Si.... PS like all good photographers you find ood images in what most of us think are unsuitable locations. Thumbs up from me. PPS I loved the jazz vibe too. atb Al

Al, so good to see you here, it's been a while, hope you're well! The water was lovely that day, the weather was fantastic. Dover can be a really grey and depressing place. Behind the Victorian buildings I show, there can be lines of trucks waiting to get onto the ferries. I've recently discovered that jazz works well for my style of video, so will be using it again. 😊 ATB, cheers!

Yeah, could have done a lot more while I was there if it wasn't for trying to reel off a list of "tips". Need to drop the rants and messing about and take KZitem more seriously I think. OK, DM me your mailing address, you'll get a hat! What colour?

Hi Simon, Enjoyed that, especially the gallery.. street light shots. Some You Tubers try black and white but turn out to be grey. Why not do video on your B&W post processing. Keep up the very entertaining videos.

Hi Simon, I thought your video was great and to the point and I like the pictures. I've just come back from 5 days in a very hot and sunny Yorkshire. I decided to do all the pictures in black and white, have just finished editing the pictures and will be putting them on my KZitem channel later this week when I've finished putting the video together.

I’ve just come across your channel, Simon. Excellent tips on BW photography. Love a chatty ranty video, very honest. I use an Olympus OM1iii, which has built in filters, and yes, I use them. Also leave my LV on monochrome. Nice to know that what I do, you have also suggested.

Hi Simon, glad im not the only one who finds Dover a little boring and full of sketchy characters, however you managed to capture the area. I , like you, have never really been to Dover specifically to take images. The castle is probably my favourite spot of the area but never found a good vantage point to capture it from. I like the images of it you captured from the marina area. I have never really gone out to only shoot black and white, perhaps i should !, when i do convert to black and white i use silver effex pro , i always use a red filter, in post, to darken that sky. Ill have to try the yellow now for any people ! Clearly i picked up something from your rants so thanks ! Hope you're well, take care.
