B&W

I love black&white photography so my ? is should i shoot in color and then convert it or shoot in B&W? Which is better? It seems like it is easier to shoot in B&W then you can check the view finder to see how you did.Just wondering what others do.

shooting color and converting, in my opinion, loses in translation, Shoot B&W!!

Here's one reason to convert from color:

By shifting the hues of individual colors, you can increase the tone contrast between areas that convert to similar shades of gray. I've used this to good effect.

I am one who prefers a bit more contrast in black and white photos ... if you shoot in color you can boost the saturation till it almost looks cartoonish and then convert ... it really makes a huge difference... Try it both ways and see which one gives you the images you are going for. For me though it's absolutely no contest.

Color.
If you like to see the idea, I reckon you can do it both ways as it takes little time to switch.

I've done both ways--setting the camera to B&W and converting.
I've found that I have more options when converting.
If I didn't get complaints from some of my family, I would only shoot B&W.

Just tell them, "Sorry, I loaded with black-and-white this morning."

Tell them you are studying to be like Ansel Adams and are required to shoot in black and white

If you shoot in the RAW file format, and set the camera to monochrome (i.e., black-and-white), the camera monitor will display a b&w JPEG representation of the RAW file. The RAW file format, however, records the photograph in color.

Last winters project was to restoring a V5 (4x5) Deardroff. I have a some modern lenses also. If you are not familiar with the camera Google it. I think it is one of the most beautiful cameras ever built. I would say more about last time I'd did Hicks woke up and got all competitive.
