Sometimes environmental conditions, especially stage lights that are constantly changing, prevent a picture from having the needed impact. In these situations converting the image to black and white may be just the answer. Most cameras allow images to be captured as monochrome images. I advise against that and recommend that you capture all the available colors with your camera, then do the black and white conversion in post processing. That way, if you decide you need the color, you will have it.
Black and white images make powerful statements, since we are all used to seeing images in color. So, mix it up a bit and try some black and white on your photos.
