For folks who've been to Japan or similar places, will I regret bringing a monochrom camera as my only camera?

I'll have a cell phone too take quick snaps and have done other big trips with only this camera. Bringing both I guess is an option but really wanting to streamline and also considering just bringing a 50mm.

It's been almost a month since we got back from Japan and a couple weeks ago I got through all of my photos but neglected to follow up here. The color camera stayed home and I brought the mono instead. Overall, I think I might have preferred bringing the color camera to help with how contrasty most scenes I ended up shooting were, but I'm still happy with what came home on the sd-card. And I had fun and didnt care about "missing shots" and liberally used our cell phones to capture things in color or for more "casual" shooting. Here's a semi-random low-rez sampling from the ~150 photos I deemed worthy to share with friends/family from the ~2k taken. Hopefully not too much of a spam/overlad.

@pechelman thanks for sharing these - looks like you had a fun trip. I particularly like the first bamboo forest shot.

Amazing pictures @pechelman

I also absolutely love the bamboo shots!

@pechelman These are all really,really great. Hard to pick a favorite, but the shot in the bar,ad the one of the bicycle,and of course the bamboo forest are stand outs for me.

@arnc, @weftyarn, and @Jett129 , thanks! It was an amazing trip. We're ready to go back. That first bamboo forest was up the road from Arashiyama where we had the whole place to ourselves. It's hardly a secret, but hit me up if anyone ever wants to know where. I thought sharing 2 bamboo forests was too much, but really thought the contrast of people was worth it. Also if you're interested, I'd be happy to share the link to the whole album over chat.

Surreal snow scenes in Munich

@weftyarn Loved scrolling down on the last shot and seeing the woman on the right. I love that moment in your photography when i get,pleasantly, surprised like that. Happens a lot.

[weftyarn]

Much appreciated as always, @Jett129
Here’s some pictures of Saturdays photo walk with Pipo. I hope y’all forgive me the lack of color lately

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Never apologize,at least not to me,for B&W.

@PJS Cool shot. Multiple exposure a reflection, or a little of both?

[PJS]

@Jett129 Thanks! Multiple exposures taken about an hour apart.

Loved the retro style sign at the hotel on my most recent business trip to Freiburg

Visited Loro Parque recently.

Checker, @Jett129 ? Beautiful shot

[weftyarn]

Beautiful pictures @oblivion-sila

And those selective color reflective shots are killer @Jett129

Are you asking if one of the cars is a Checker? If so,I don’t think so.

Imagining if Ansel Adams had a Lensball
