Yes its a little jarring to see those shots come up in Photoshop Bridge in
full vibrant super saturated  color which you Then you end up leaving the
color in in half the shots. Then you end up not bothering with the in camera
mode but just taking out the color out of shots you feel like later on.
Having shot it in color to be clear... A think I'm doing more that and more
of. Forgoing all color in back site. And that's done of course with what's
in effect color "filtering" as you can have it be in effect a green or red
or whatever filter which turns out to give you the best separation.
