Black & White

1. RAW

    -For most control in the after production phase, you will need to shoot in RAW mode. Of course if your camera doesnt offer the RAW option, shooting in JPEG will be just fine (:

2. Shoot in Color

    -If your camera wont allow you to shoot in RAW, shoot in color and then change it on your computer to black and white. Although many cameras have a setting button to go ahead and change the pictire to B&W for you.

3. Low ISO

    -Shoot in the lowest possible ISO, this is very improtant when getting black and white shots.

4. When to Capture

    -An overcast or dark day is a good day to shoot outdoors.

5. Compostition

     -The main difference between shooting in B&W rather than color is that you cant use color to catch the eye of the viewer. Be sure to look at shapes, angles, textures, and tones to find points of interest.
