If it's a good picture in B&W, then it's a good picture.
I've gotten into the habit of displaying and reviewing most of my images in monochrome. Most cameras have this function. You still shoot RAW but you display in B&W. This is particularly useful to analyze light. By removing the color aspect of the image, you simplify it down to luminosity.
This allows me to focus on the lighting and see images more clearly for what they are. Try it :)
Nikon D700 doesn't have this feature.
ReplyDeletePretty sure it does :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's...
Menu>Shooting>Picture Control>Monochrome
So long as I'm shooting in raw, it won't affect what i'm recording?
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYup. It won't affect your RAW image. It just shows you a monochrome image :)

Does canon have this feature?
ReplyDeleteCanon (well my 7D) does its under picture style.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr Lucima for a great tip - I surely give it a try. Tx Justin
Hi Charles,
ReplyDeletethank for this information, it all have sense and I can already see how this can improve my lighting ( to better see and analyze ).
