Best way to make B & W photos?
There are two ways to make black and white photos and I am wondering if either is better than the other. They are:
1. Shot the color shot and have iphoto turn it into a b & w shot.
2. Set the camera, a Canon Rebel XT, to shoot the photo as a B & W shot.
I have not had time to test these methods in a methodical way. From what I have seen, when iPhoto converts a color shot into a b & W shot, it hasnt looked too impressive. Sort of bland.
On the other hand, using the camera to shoot in b & w mode seems to produce more expressive shots.
Is this what others have found? Or is iPhoto better at converting color shots into b & w and I am just doing it wrong?
Thanks,
