Hey all,
Well, Im really starting to get snap happy with the new camera (as well as having fun rediscovering my old one :D ). So recently I have been thinking of trying my hand at some Black and White Photography. I am wondering if you folks can suggest some good reading material, either print or online, that deals specifically with B+W photography (I ams hooting 35mm, though I would think that should not make much of a difference.) A lot of the time when I see Black and White photos on these forums I find myself thinking "hmmmm, if only it had been in color" thinking that the B+W images look really flat, even if the composition and exposure are perfect and dead on. Im hoping to find some stuff that will teach me to take very appealing B+W photos, to make things really POP at you.
So, anyone have some suggestions?

"Black and White Photography", and "Beyond Basic Photography" by Henry Horenstein
Most everyone makes the mistake of just throwing there camera in B&W or just clicking greyscale in PS. That's why their pictures lack contrast and look flat. There are several ways to convert and make a better B&W. You could also get an old camera and a roll of TriX too.
