B&W Akademie - anyone done it?

I just signed up for a B&W seminar with Justin Stailey in Boston. Since it is limited to 15 and these programs sell out I figured I'd shoot and them aim. Anyone taken this course and/or with this instructor? I am quite interested in the relative advantages off shooting B&W in camera vs. adjustment which I have been doing in CS5. Thanks.

PS: How do you set the camera for B&W? Could not find it in the "compression" setting. Tx

Well, if you shoot JPG, then you can change color saturation to b/w. Once you shoot DNG only (as I do), the files are color and the b/w setting is not available; conversion is done in PP. I don't like having the camera make decisions for me.

Justin is great and he will probably tell you to shoot raw. If you shoot raw + jpeg,, under "color saturation" in the menu, BW is offered.

 

Found it. Many thanks. Never shot in jpeg before and was not familiar with the settings. Unless otherwise persuaded, I will continue to shoot in raw and do conversion in CS5.
