Any one want a new challenge? Black and white challenge thread.

Hello. I adore b&w photography. I am thinking about a fortnightly b and w based challenge. Perhaps similar to others and each fortnight have a theme for the images. Basically first of all assessing whether anyone interested. Please reply if you are and I'll take it from there. Look forward to hearing from you all.

Hey Newbank Lass, I'd definitely be in it even though I don't really like B&W!!! Might push me along a bit to do some more of it and try to enjoy it :) I'm thinking that @yrhenwr could join - his B&Ws are incredible :)
May 17th, 2014
I'd like to try this too! I love BW and use it much less than I want to.
May 17th, 2014
As long as I have the option to double tag, I'd love to join.
It's awesome that you are doing this!
May 17th, 2014
I'm in -I love B&W and should do more of it
May 17th, 2014
Yes, count me in!
May 17th, 2014

May 17th, 2014
Yes, count me in please.

May 17th, 2014
Count me in please, black and white sounds good to me
May 17th, 2014
@newbank Good idea Ruth, may tempt me back sometime!
May 17th, 2014
@gigiflower I'm glad you did Sam thanks. I never look at blogs or discuss or whatever…(365 is time-consuming enough as it is!)
May 17th, 2014
Sure.
May 17th, 2014
I'd like to try some bw. Let me know how it would work.
May 17th, 2014
I might want to give it a try.
May 17th, 2014
I'm in.
May 17th, 2014
me too...:)
May 17th, 2014
I'm already doing a personal mono in May in my 2nd album but could be interested in posting in this too so please keep me informed!
May 17th, 2014
I'd like to try it too. B&W is not my thing but it might inspire me.
May 17th, 2014
I'd love it. I like a challenge--although I have come to stop working on things that pick finalists and have votes--only because I don't have time these days for keeping up and finding themes/challenges that include votes, but I'll keep an eye out.

I might suggest you try to announce ahead for Wednesdays which used to be Black and White Wednesday (with tag BWW) for those who used to do it (I haven't in a awhile) so you could issue a specific challenge and have it appear that week under that tag? Just an idea.
May 17th, 2014
Good idea. I would be interested.
May 17th, 2014
Sure :)
May 17th, 2014
I'd be interested! I've been getting more interested in black and white as time goes by
May 17th, 2014
I'm interested, tag me in :)
May 17th, 2014
hell yes!
May 17th, 2014
Would love to give it a try - count me in.
May 17th, 2014
oh go on then :o)
May 17th, 2014
Maybe this is something for @kannafoot :)
And maybe I'll try too :)

May 17th, 2014
I'm in.
May 17th, 2014
Definitely count me in, I'm trying to do more and more B & W as I love it but tend to get side tracked! A challenge my help to discipline me!
May 17th, 2014
Yes I'd be up for it
May 17th, 2014

From this afternoons response seems there is interest. So on Monday I will start a new challenge called "Black & White Fortnight" Each fortnight on a Monday a new theme will be set for black and white images during the following fortnight. At present I have some ideas for themes. If this challenge takes off and people enjoy it then I will probably ask for some ideas on themes that people would like to be challenged with. There are lots of challenges on here that end with voting so I feel for now I will go with the favourite fav of another 365'er from the fortnight approach. I'll get that thread going at the same time as setting up the new theme for the fortnight. The tag will be b&w-fn-1 for the first one with the number changing each fortnight but I'll put the tag up each week. Hope this makes sense and will be something you all enjoy. That's it for now I'll post again on Monday for the first fortnight. Thank you one and all.
May 17th, 2014
Looking forward to it.
May 17th, 2014
I'm keen to join in this one! I don't do nearly enough black and white.
May 17th, 2014
Sounds great--I need a little more motivation to try more black and white photos!
May 17th, 2014

I'd like to join in too - although maybe not all the time, I'd try.
May 18th, 2014
@newbank I love b&w too.
Sounds good, but I'll dip in and out for the moment until I have a bit more free time, but please tag me so I know what the themes are, then I can do one if I get an impulse or opportunity.

Enjoy the hosting, can't wait to hear your theme ideas. I like the idea of the fav fav of another 365er as we are doing for the patterns and textures, its a great way to showcase other peoples work. (PS, I really wish I knew the name behind new bank lass, will you share it?)
