I began my journey into photography with B & W working at a newspaper. I agree with the user who said if you've never experienced watching your photo come to life in front of you, you are truly missing something. Like most effects, it has it's place. I think it can be overdone but in some cases, it can convey the intended message better than anything else. The simplicity, elegance and clarity you can get from B & W photography would be sorely missed if we left it behind simply because we have the ability to do color. Just because we have almost every color imaginable in textiles, doesn't mean the simple black dress will ever go out of style. :)

I love it. Though, I prefer a black and white film, like Ilford HP5 ASA400, to digital. I like the look better, and get a much broader exposure latitude with film than I can with photoshop. And I guess that's mainly due to my ignorance of the program itself, I just don't know how to use it. Some can make great B&W images digitally, but not me.
As a matter of fact, I'm shooting some B&W film today. I'll let you know how they come out in a couple of weeks when I get them back from the processor, I guess the main drawback to film unless you develop your own. I still love it though.

it can be nice----more of a dramatic effect. But very realistic and people always look better in black and white. But in order for it to look nice on a picture it has to be the right type of scene that the picture is capturing... :)

I love it. In 2008 I will again have my own B&W darkroom. Unless you have experienced watching an image appear in the developing tray you can't understand the feeling you get.
In a way I feel sorry for Peter K . Oh well - to each his own.

Well, i think it depends on the photo. Some photos look better in colour and some look better in black and white.

I love black and white photo's. I think you can focus on capturing more detail like this.

Pretentious most of the time. We have had perfectly good colour processes for 50 years. But people still like to use black and white in the name of "art" because colour is tainted with the stigma of the happy snapper pictures of holidays and days out. Sometimes you get a great image in monochrome but often it is a sticking plaster applied to a mediocre picture.

It has its place.

I sometimes employ B & W when I'm taking pictures with my digital camera.
I love it.
