I never thought that color theory had anyhing to do with black and white. I always payed attention to contrast but ignored color. This tutorial will definately change my thinking when shooting b&w in the future.

Hi Alec,
Glad to see your work again. I tried watching the video, and the only auio I got was guitar music in the beginning. The no audio. I would love to hear the audio. Any suggestions on this?
Take care and hope to hear from you.

Hey Tim, Good to hear from you. Send me an email with full details on operating system, browser and version, version of Flash, etc. I have no idea why the problem exists. Also, try it from my blog and see if that makes a difference. Hope all is well out west!

Alec, the way the audio was recorded almost blanks out your voice if your PC has a woofer and tweeter speaker package. Your voice comes through the woofer only. I had no problem when I listended to the video using the monitor speakers only.
