@houser934 Hi Kathryn - I'm lucky (and crazy enough) to have a lot of cameras, both DSLRs and 'mirrorless'. My mirrorless cameras are all set to B&W so that's what I see in the viewfinder but only the Jpegs are recorded in B&W of course. The raw files are in colour which I then convert to B&W; sometimes in Lightroom but more often in Silver Efex. I don't use any of the presets, each file is individually processed and adjusted. I'm lucky that when I see a scene, I know instinctively what the finished image will look like.
In 2016 I did a project I called OCOLOY - One Camera, One Lens, One Year - and posted the B&W Jpegs exactly as they came out of the camera, no processing of any kind and no cropping - that year taught me the art of visualising and composing in B&W... but it's not for the faint hearted!
That’s an amazing challenge you committed your self to, it surely made you a superb b&w photographer. I was thinking to do that for a month but a whole year.... it takes great discipline!
