Black and White Photography


What type of flash should I use for black and white photos?
Can I take black and white photos with a regular 35mm camera?

  All a regular 35mm camera needs to shoot b&w is to load it with b&w film. There are filters that are intended for use with b&w but not color film (Red, Green, Yellow, Orange being the most common), but to get started you don't need them. The common UV and Polarizing filters work the same for both b&w and color film.

There is no need for a special flash for b&w. Just get one that is compatible with your camera.
