Alternatively, you can go out
and shoot your digital DSLR in
monochrome mode. This will
give B&W views of your shots
on the camera’s LCD. If you
shoot jpeg it will dump your
color info. It is better to shoot
in RAW. The color info will be
stored and allow more options
when it comes to post-
processing later, but you’ll still
get to see your in-camera pre-
views in B&W while you shoot
and this will help you compose.
Tonality
Tonality refers to the range
of tones in an image – how
many shades of grey there are
from featureless black to fea-
tureless white. One often hears
that a good black-and-white
photo contains a complete
range of greys from featureless
black to featureless white, but
