    here i thought this was going to be a useful borg warner thread
     
  4. Very cool, like the B&W touch.
     
  5. I don't quite know why it is, but when I look at b/w photos the subject looks more "real" than in color photos of the same subject. Anyone else feel this way or am I nuts? Maybe I'm not explaining myself well, but I am old and I remember when b/w was all you ever saw.

    Can't you send the generator out for a rebuild shop via UPS?

    You are not nuts, I feel the same -- I think it's because a color photo contains too much extraneous information (the colors) that distract your (my) brain from the real subject matter.
    With a B/W photo the subject does not have to compete with all the other information so you see it better -- more real, as you said.......
     
  13. ......Thanks. I like your explanation.
