Interesting comment Peter. For a very long time after switching to digital I 
had trouble shooting b&w. I finally worked out that I pre-visualise in b&w, 
and with film the next time I see the image it is still in b&w so therefore 
no additional pre-visualisation is needed. With digital the next time I see 
the image it is in colour again and I have to pre-visualise all over again 
without the same stimuli for my brain I had in the first instance.

I have now pretty much overcome the problem but I do think it is a major one 
for many photographers.
