I found a video with some advice for shooting with my Canon M50. I don’t often use the kit lens but this one suggested working with it at 35mm. He suggests taking most shots in portrait, which is something I’ve been trying to practice more.
I chose “monochrome” for the colour styles, so these’ll be in black and white. Now, this is a gimmick, because if I’m shooting in RAW, Canon will keep the color information in the file. I’m not removing colour with this option; I’m adding a filter. You can see the effect undo itself in Lightroom CC as soon as you click “Develop.” Still, neat practice. It looks like black and white on screen and in the viewer, and it definitely affected what I shot.
Here’s a few photos from this exercise:
