An easy way to do this is select a black and white color profile (make sure you’re shooting Raw so that your camera captures all color information).
The next time you’re out making black and white photos try and visualize what the scene in front of you would look like in black and white. An easy way to do this is select a black and white color profile (make sure you’re shooting Raw so that your camera captures all color information). Then you’ll see your photos in black and white when you play them back. You’ll also see them in black and white in Live View or through an electronic viewfinder, if your camera has one. This is a great aid to composition.
