Paragraph Synopsis:

Many photographers prefer to shoot in black and white for many reasons other than the aesthetics.  Color is very powerful and tends to dominate photos to the point that a lot of people struggle to see other key elements. There are certain subjects that tend to work better than others in black and white. A lot of people highly recommend the “Monochrome” mode to get basic black and white shots. Black and White is a beautiful medium to work in and one that you will appreciate even more as your skill grows.
