I am challenged by the Black and White month. Finding subjects that maybe good in monochrome is not trivial. It's certainly a good exercise for my soul :-)

Bravo , j’avoue que je n’arrive pas à essayer le noir et blanc, j’aime trop les couleurs …

[Mags]

Well done! Not everything has to be contrasty. I've seen more gray lately and some of it is very nice.

[Joan Robillard]

I love black and white photography but by the end of February, I am ready to take a break. My mentor Richard Sayer posted almost exclusively in black and white. He was a master at it. I try to post pictures this month that would make him proud of me. But It is something you can work on all year long. Try to include a few black and white every month. The more you work at it the better you become at recognizing good subjects

@joansmor Thanks Joan. It's good advice. I love monochrome images.

[Corinne C]

@marlboromaam Thanks Mags. It's a work in progress

[Corinne C]

@cocobella J'aime aussi le noir et blanc mais c'est moins naturel pour moi

A very clever one Corinne, great contrasts and capture.

Nice contrast, that's this week's theme isn't it..

This is certainly great for the week of contrasts

fab!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Certainly gives that great contrast !

[Linda Godwin]

I too am out of my box with it but it seems to be a learning process. I like Joan’s advice .

[Corinne C]

@robz I just had one red pepper but I put it on a highly reflective surface. The reflection appears much darker.

[Corinne C]

@boxplayer I’m not sure 🤭

[Krista Marson]

Reminds me of Edward Weston https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_No._30
