Black and white challenge

January 1st, 2021
The Black and White challenge 58 was won on the 6th December @ingrid01. Unfortunately they have either been unwilling or unable to start challenge 59. The black and white challenge is a popular theme on 365 and it seems a shame to let it die. Does any on want to pick up the challenge for 2021? Please reply below.

Maybe it just slipped their mind? However, if @ingrid01 is not able to set up a new challenge and no one else wants to do it, I’d be happy to start the first B&W challenge of the year...

@northy Thanks they have still been posting and have been nudged a few times. Shall we give them till Sunday and if no response it would be great if you could keep the challenge alive :)

Thanks @rjb71 for resurrecting this, it is one of my favorite challenges. Thanks @northy for offering to step up!

@lsquared I think I’m the one who started this challenge back a few years ago... I’d hate to see it fall off!

Personally, I'd really like to see more black and white challenges and ones that aren't equipment specific. I'd really like to improve my black and white shots - from every aspect. I think the challenges are great for that.

@marlboromaam i'm curious to know what you mean about challenges that are not equipment specific... do you mean camera gear? or editing software? or...?

i think most of the b&w challenges have related to subjects rather than techniques, and either way, i would have thought that equipment wasn't critical...

but i am definitely curious as to what you are referring to... i started the challenge originally because people seemed interested in practicing with b&w... it would be good to know what type of challenge would be helpful!

@rjb71 @northy @lsquared @northy @marlboromaam

i have left a message on Ingrid's post. she should be replying soon. if she's unable to host the next one, i suggested that she ask the last host to get one of the other finalists to host the next b/w challenge. but please wait for her response.

@northy Camera gear mostly. Some challenges here have been lens or gizmo specific. That kind of leaves me out.

@summerfield No problem. I'm looking forward to one.

I'm so sorry! I totally missed that I won.... If @summerfield had not left a message I would never have know... Thank you Vikky! Please give me a day or 2 to set up the new challenge...

Oh any suggestions for the theme?

And I think for future it might be good to leave a message under the winning photo to make sure the person is aware that they won... I love to enter when a challenge appeals to me, but when live gets in the way I often forget to check on it... expecting that do not win anyway...

@ingrid01 the original theme is here https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/44250/black-and-white-58-reportage with all the previously used themes. You can either think of a new one or rerun a previous one the choice is yours.
