First off, I appreciate the superfluous U in the word colour.
Flippin' Canadians
I am from Heartland USA... I added the "U" because I have some great Brit friends who use it... an in joke from way back in the day... Ya wouldn't get it if I explained....
huh? The retort was to Pedro. Sorry to confuse you
I just turned every which-way in my chair... didn't see B/W anywhere.... yep... B/W is out..... If you want to be "artsy" or "noir" write the piece.... or paint it.... and don't even give me the Adams crap reply..."So, Ansel Adams work is worthless?" It has it's place....
but he would have shot in coloUr if he had the tech. or the talent.

Can you share some of the talented photogs? I want to be sure I'm heading in the right direction.
Also, if I don't believe in god, can I still be a good photographer?
I have been reading a bunch of stuff on Ken Rockwell's site lately and here is something he says about photo manipulation...mostly refers to filters on the lens but references to Ansel Adams and post processing.
"The more you learn about photography the more you'll also learn that artificial filters and manipulation are required to make a natural looking image. Ansel Adams realized that human perception and the photographic processes are quite different. Therefore one needs to use a lot of filtration, manipulation and burning and dodging to compensate for the human eye and brain's image processing to create an image on paper that looks natural. (You can read this in his books.) This is why most snapshots don't look like the original scene. Artificial processes and image manipulation are needed to make a photograph look natural."

Don't know... I don't believe either... although Brooks and Dunn have a great song along that line... Hell, just shoot what ya like... never mind about me.

That's not much in the way of guidance. :/
Ok.... a Jimmie moment... "If it makes ya smile or cry... shoot it. Then skin, fry and eat it..."
Even when shooting with film, especially in black and white, there is much that can be done in post processing (the manner in which the film is developed). Photography is in the eye, and what YOU see when a photo is taken. Its seeing eyond the mundane. Just my opinion.
