(Pandora B/W Closeup, uploaded by brownpau.)

Until recently, "black and white photography" for me meant importing color photos into Photoshop and desaturating. Now it means putting my camera in B/W Effect Mode with auto shutter speed and exposure.

You can actually get better results by shooting in color and using channel mixing in Photoshop.

Ideally, Pandora herself should appear much brighter than the fabric she's resting on, and increasing contrast overall would probably look more pleasing.

You can grab some channel mixing goodies from Digital Outback Photo:
