fooling Around With New Camera
I just purchased a new Nikon D5100 a few weeks ago and still learning all of the different features. I found the Effects called Selective Color. It allows you to select a color or a few different colors in your shoe and isolate only those and the rest of the picture will appear in black and white.
This first shot is a few months ago in a new shopping center parking lot.
Now this was taking a little while ago in the same center. The red is not as bright and vibrant and I found that even though I selected the red on the car the camera will pick up any other color that is close to the selected color. I am sure I can do better, but not bad (in my opinion) as I play a little more.

That is a pretty neat feature. It should make for some very interesting pictures.

The features that come out in today's cameras are astonishing...but sometimes don't give you exactly what you want.
If you have photoshop you can desaturate your color picture and then use the history tool brush to paint back the color - where you want and exactly how the color looked in the original picture. Makes for some fun trial and error.
Good luck on the camera, I'm a 5D Mark II kinda guy.
