I find that I have much more latitude to work with when I shoot color and convert--more options for processing. Moreover, everything I read says that shooting color and then converting is the way to go. That is certainly not true, of course, when shooting film rather than digital.

As inexperienced as I am, I tend to agree with you. After rereading the article I submitted, apparently I misunderstood viewing through the viewfinder versus previewing in the camera after the shot was taken. With the D750, after choosing the monochrome option, you can further choose sharpening, contrast and brightness sliders and filter effects of off, yellow, orange, red and green. Toning effects of B&W or multitude of colors. I haven't tried any of the filters yet, but if I can get out today, will give some of them a go.
Thanks for the info.

Thank you Jay for sharing your insight. I'm leaning toward your point of view. The digital world has given the artisan a wider variety of options to choose from.

I'm also of the opinion that converting gives one more latitude. I can look at a color shot and determine if it would look better in B&W and also what kind of cropping would enhance it. Plus, I've been greatly influenced by old movies and just enjoy the process of tweaking to bring out details and subtle nuances that B&W affords.

The last one posted is especially dramatic with the "silver lining" everyone looks for in life! Thanks for sharing .
