February challenge - Black & White

January 28, 2007 at 10:43 pm · Filed under 18 Black & White, Uncategorized

Something fun and creative to push your photography skills as well as your artistic and self analysis.

Whether you do something classic, retro, or modern - black and white photography is really versatile and still totally relavent in the digital age.

some tips on black and white digital photography can be found hereand here and here and here.

Some ideas and inspiration this month I have taken from flickr - black and white photography is a wonderful medium for expressing emotion and a sense of place.

Ideas - give it a go…
Something a little raw - depict your strength : make the image dark moody and brooding : glamorous with a vintage twist : set up a scene - re-enact a scenario : have some fun - be playful : thoughtful : experiment with digital layering : a short self documentary : a sense of place - an event : a little daring : just be yourself - natural : your environment takes on something different :

So — I’m never clear on this.

Which theme are we supposed to use for this week?

I guess for me, it doesn’t make much difference as all my ‘Resolution’ shots have been b&w anyway, I’ll probably just continue with that and kill two birds, so to speak.

as always when the new month lands so close to the tuesday I would go with the new theme but feel free to continue with the old one if you want to.

I am new to your site, and interested in doing the challenges. Is it by week, or by month? Do I leave you the link and you do a round-up. What goes on? Is it just for us to play along…?

Thanks so much!
