I am setting the camera to monochrome picture setting and at the default yellow filter. Should be interesting and challenging, not everything looks great in black and white. Plus I am shooting in jpeg again. Why? I could just shoot in RAW and convert them, right? Well, I think its always important to limit yourself and make sure you arent using your computer and software as a crutch to taking a photo that didn't take much thought.
I know most people disagree with this, but I am of the thinking that you should capture the photo you want, as closely as possible the first time. You should use your computer and software to enhance your desired photo as much as you need. However, to me I feel you should take just as much thought into pushing the shutter button as when you're sitting in front of the computer. Plus, a lot of times it just feels good to look at your creation and say "perfect" and not have to touch it.
So, jpeg and black and white, at f/1.8 only. I am hoping this will force me into coming up with more creative options before I start snapping away.
