[QUOTE="kawaracer, post: 555732, member: 41640"] B&W out of the camera don't give really superbe results. I work in RAW but still I put my camera in monochrome when I intent to shoot black and white. It gives me a better preview of dark and lights in the camera screen, a collor preview might give a good image but don't work in B&W because to much the same grey. Black and whites for me demand an other thinking proces, all about the light intensity and compo and not about the collors that makes that 'black and white' is something I (mostly) decide on when taking the picture, It feels like this gives me a better idee on how to process with stronger results. I always try to work to a black to white range in the image. When converting to B&W you can change de luminance of every collor, that way you can create light and dark parts to achieve that range.
