Hi guys, Ive been interested in black and white for a while now but have never given it a shot.
I was wondering what the best way was to convert to black and white? Is it just as simple as removing all saturation through PS and then adjusting other levels etc from there?

I am really interested in the whole light/shadow relationship with monochrome pics, I find them often a lot more startling than an impressive colourful pic but i honestly have no idea how to get started.

Anyone here specialize in black and white pics?
