If you have PS, then don't bother shooting in black and white on the camera (unless submitting to a challenge here where you can't post-process). PS gives much more control over the B&W settings than can your camera. |

| I shoot in colour and then convert to B&W in Photoshop. I usually use the channel mixer to get the effect I want. |

Shoot RAW and as you normally would. Everything else is about processing and how you convert to B&W.

Just as you would for regular color shooting, be sure you have good tonal range and details in both highlights & shadows. After that its all about software.

| I'd say use a Red filter as you would when shooting traditional B&W if you are outside and looking for a bit more contrast in sky scenes. |

The D70s doesn't have in-camera B+W shooting options so you can only do it in post processing.

I was playing with my old MF film lenses on my D70 this weekend and tried some photos with a red filter. Boy does it make the sky pop out!

Do not use a red filter when shooting with a digital camera. The results you get are nothing like a red filter with b/w film.
When I shoot with b/w conversion in mind, I expose a little differently. In general, most digital photographers will expose to the right. I do not do this when I know I'm going to convert. I expose right in the middle and make my contrast adjustments after the fact with various tools in photoshop.

msy I ask you about in-camera b&w and other filters for 5d here as well?
I took many photos with the b&w filter, but when i opened them in raw shooter the photos were in color. how can I keep them b6w after transfering?
is it better to shoot with b&w filter or convert to b6w in ps?
thank you! |

I know nothinga bout in-cam black and white. My 20d will do it but i never experimented with it since I prefer to do my own conversions manually.

I think the in-camera B&W only applies for JPG. |

Hummm... Are you sure you've tried? They make a huge difference for me. |

| Does the D70 support RAW+JPG(with image settings/options set to B/W)? if so you'll always have the color copy accessible and see the instant preview in B/W. Best of both words :) |

Yes it does support Raw + JPG.

I have. The digital camera is not capturing a black and white image. It's capturing color, no matter what mode you are shooting in. Red filters do not translate the same for a color capture as a b/w.

It supports Raw + JPG, but even for JPG there is no B/W in the camera even for JPG. It always has to be done in post processing.
