Great comment there Jeff. Unfortunately, Elizabeth isn’t writing for Photoble currently, so I hope I can help. Personally, I think you’re on the right track to shoot in color with your camera so it can retain most of the image data and give you more flexibility as well.

When it comes to converting photos or applying effects, I think the best way is to do it with a post processing software like Photoshop or Lightroom. There are actually LOTS of various grayscale effects you can apply to your image, rather than just the one your camera usually gives you.

Hope this helps and clears up any confusion!

u said in an earlier post “do not shoot in color and convert to black and white” yet you have done that here. I am not complaining; just want to know is this a practice frowned upon? are there exceptions? isnt shooting in color safer since you can then decide to convert to black and white or not depending on what you want the image ‘to say’?

Lots of purple fringing on the color versions. I think the monochrome works so much better and creates that somber, desolate mood of a ghost town.
