Nikon D200 Black and White Photography

An experiment to see what differences exist between originating digital black and white photography using Nikon D200 in-camera settings vs shooting in color and converting to black and white as a post process.

From what I can see, if you have a program like Photoshop, there is little difference, and little point in limiting yourself by using the in-camera black and white setting.

Black and White image derived from color in Photoshop using Image > Mode > Grayscale.
For sophisticated control in Photoshop over black and white images you are best served by shooting in color and using the new channel mixer.
