Black and white Photograpy
I like a black and white photo and I usually take all photos in colour then those I think would make a good b+w shot I convert in editing. However, are there any advantages to actually shooting b+w in camera or is there no difference?

I guess ultimately you may visualise differently through the viewfinder if you are seeing the image in B&W but personally I'd convert after as I have a ton of actions in PS that create very different B&W images that each have their own merits depending on the subject matter.

What camera are you using wazza? Can you not shoot in raw, probably gives you more scope in editing - depending on what editing software your using…
By the way, no expert and don’t personally shoot in raw, but like you sometimes I think a picture looks better in b&w.

One I took a fair few years ago at DLP, took in colour but converted as b&w just did it more justice.

I found that if I was actually shooting B+W I would look at the scene differently than if I was shooting colour as I was looking for a lot more contrast to get the images I wanted.

I love B&W photography and I often set my camera to shoot in B&W. I Shoot in Raw + Jpg so the Raw file is normal and contains all the colour data but the jpg is in B&W.
The advantage of shooting in B&W means the viewfinder and LCD screen are in B&W which helps massively in composing the scene without being distracted by the colour. Shooting in B&W concentrates your eyes on the light in the scene and how the shadows and highlights interact

If you take a black and white photo with the camera, you won't have too many editing options afterwards.

In my experience, the camera does a better job of producing a b&w image than converting a colour image later. However, that may just be the software I've used for the conversion process...
It may be worth taking both colour and b&w photos with your camera, converting the colour images and then comparing. |
