Black and white images are beautiful and classic - so don't be tempted to use shortcuts when it comes to creating them. Your camera's black and white mode and that "convert to grayscale" button in Photoshop seem so simple, but they aren't going to give you the excellent range of tones that these photos have.

Most people think this post is Awesome. What do you think?
My son has taken & posted several - many black & white photos, and I viewed them all carefully. For some odd reason I never gave it a thought to take pictures in B & W -- many years ago, that's how I started out! I'll need to look in my camera manual to see how to set it up! That's how much I know about this now!
Thanks for providing a lesson in B & W!

Although I am just starting photography your course is helping immensely & now I will
practice your suggestions for composing black & white photos. Thanks for all your great tips.
The simplicity in black white photos was striking . It's encouraged me to relook at what might just be special in a black & white photo . Thanks for great tip :) , Chelle .
