If the colors in the scene are turned into shades of gray, from pitch black to brilliant white, other aspects of your photograph—shape, lighting, contrast, texture, tone—become the dominant elements.
Here I give you an example of the same scene but on grayscale and colours. It's not the best example but you can see that I lost some of the "magic" due to the black and white. After the images I tell you why and how to avoid that.

Well, removing colour in a bland scene would take any point of interest and leave it a boring photo. But if you're trying to get a feeling from another more sentimental era, black and white has the power to do it better than colour photography.
Colour vs Gray Tones.
One thing to keep in mind is the colour matching in your scene. For example, when a kid is wearing mismatching colours but is in the perfect setting for a photo you can use black and white to eleminate the array of colours that could distract the eyes from the scene it self.
Lighting
Take the color away and light does become a much more important part of your picture. Fog and Clouds instantly become more romantic, soft background for your photos. Shooting after a sunset with a cloudy skyline in the background will give you amazing results.
And that's all for today. =)
Nice tips =b
