I have always found that I get better black and white images by shooting in color and then converting in post-processing.

Been having some real interesting weather lately. Tried to create more cloud movement on the 2nd one.... Need more ND filters and the cloud weren't moving very fast
The contrast of the sun rays in the black and silver clouds is wonderful!

Are we allowed to do converted rather than use the mono setting? I do a lot of B&W but always convert from color.
Hi Sue,
Pg. 1 This challenge was supposed to be about setting your camera to monochrome to make the shot. The advantage is said to be that you see the shot through the view finder in black and white. With that said, with both my camera's, this is not the case. I see the shot in color. This may be because I shoot in RAW or I may not have my filters set correctly. I'm inexperienced with this type of photography. Even when I convert the image from my SD card to my computer, the image is in color and I have to manually tell my Adobe processor to convert to black and white.
So, does it make any difference? I'm not sure. You be the judge and post what you like.

Pg. 2 Hi Jay, so good to hear from you! Since I'm new to this process, would you lend your opinion on the differences between these two methods? Why do you feel that converting in post-processing is better than dedicating the shot to monochrome in your camera?
Thanks, Sunny.

When we shot film looking through the view finder, everything was in color and it's the same with a dslr. When using the view finder you are looking through the lens with no PP. On my D7100 I can press the info button and set the Picture Control to Standard, Neutral,.... Monochrome or a few other settings. Looking through the view finder it's still in color, but in live view it's B/W.
You can also use the Retouch Menu and adjust each photo to Monochrome and play with filter colors. You can then save a copy. I would rather use PS for any conversion.
With out starting a war, I don't see a lot of difference between the processing of film or digital PP. You shoot seeing in color. Either sent your film to be processed or developed it yourself or downloaded a color image and press the B/W button. The end results are similar. I think you had to be more mindful about shooting film B/W using filters.
That's my $.01

Pg 2. I like the second one with the sun coming through those angry looking clouds. If I have to deal with the wind, I definitely prefer wind out of the Southeast, it seems to be warmer.
