Hello everyone,

I was wondering, did anyone of you ever do (or consider doing) only black & white photography (while you were starting out of course) in order to learn better?

This is my reasoning: if you look at elements of design and composition, you have lines, curves, shapes, forms, textures and colour.

I am thinking that if someone shoots only in B&W, that will force him to pay more attention to these other elements of composition. And later you can come back to shooting colour. Because we need to utilise all of them in our images.

It's like that saying: "Bad weather makes for good photographs.", because it forces us to pay more attention on these other elements.
This would of course require one to shoot B&W in camera.

I would just like to see your opinions on this.
Thanks
