NEW CHALLENGE, BLACK & WHITE FORTNIGHT NO:2 WATER

June 1st, 2014
Hello and welcome to Black & White Fortnight.

What is Black & White Fortnight? It is a challenge for black and white photography. Each fortnight a new theme is chosen for the fortnight and you can take as many images on the theme as you like. This fortnight will run from Monday 2nd June till Sunday 15th June.

The theme this time is WATER. Why water? Well water is around us everywhere. Its at the sea, canals, lakes, rivers.... Don't live near our vast spaces of water? It's still near you, in your bath, the dogs water bowl, the cup of water you just drank... So this fortnight the challenge is capture images with water. Same as last fortnight if this fortnights theme isn't for you please do have a look next time, the themes will be varied in the hope to inspire, challenge and get us thinking and photographing the world around us.

The tag this fortnight will be bw-fn-2

Same as last time, feel free to share your images on this thread and on Friday 13th June we shall for the last weekend of the fortnight have a Favourite Fav thread.

Any questions just ask. Want to be tagged and you're not. Just ask. Other that only thing lefty to say is Enjoy.

Great idea and sparkling theme. I would love to give it a try, these days :)

Thank you for hosting this theme. Look forward to this watery challenge, neat idea.

Of course I'm in! Will see what transpires... :)
June 1st, 2014
Good theme, plenty of scope.
June 1st, 2014
this will be interesting!
June 1st, 2014
I've just seen this is the same as Ross's weekly theme - so lots of water shots on 365 this week!
June 1st, 2014
@dibzgreasley oh...... Hadn't seen that. Must confess I chose this theme partly as well knowing I'd have seaside shots to process! Must look up his tags.
June 1st, 2014
Great idea! This will really be a challenge as I haven't 'done' water yet. Thank you.
June 1st, 2014
great theme. thanks again for organising :)
i've also never really done much on the water theme - could be interesting
June 1st, 2014
Thank you for tagging me :)
I didn't really get around to shoot for it last week but as I love water shots I might join in this time :)
June 1st, 2014
Can you add me, need to start pushing myself
June 1st, 2014
Please add me.
June 1st, 2014
@newbank
Please tag me it.
Thanks.
June 1st, 2014
@newbank Great theme, thanks for organising this. I was daunted by the challenge of finding something to photograph EVERY day but with the constant inspiration you and others provide by doing theme threads, I think my year is going to fly by!
June 1st, 2014
YAY!! WATER!!!! :)
June 2nd, 2014
Thanks for doing this, enjoyed bw-fn-1! Please tag me!
June 2nd, 2014

June 2nd, 2014
Guess I'll be walking down to the lake!Good !I can use the excersise
June 2nd, 2014
I'd like to have a go too so please count me in.
June 2nd, 2014
water in B&W droplets
June 2nd, 2014
You might need to put the new ones up a tad earlier. Part of the world had finished with the first before this post went up. Please tag me too
June 2nd, 2014
@swilde will tag you. It is one of the quirks of 365 that it is constantly active with people in different zones. I do appreciate some people may have moved onto Monday when they see next post but my main 365 time is in the evenings in the UK. I can change to a Saturday if this is a problem for people?
June 2nd, 2014
@newbank Just post the new challenge the day before the first one runs out...your time...as a heads up that it will start on the Monday. So if you post the new challenge on Saturday night (your time) to commence on Monday (anyone's time) it will work.
June 2nd, 2014
Have been trying to work out my theme for this month - please can I be tagged in?

A few droplets after a sudden shower today.
June 3rd, 2014
So … I haven't really been a follower of themes and competitions thus far, and I am way behind in my posts (like a week). Can I post something I took a few days ago (and haven't posted yet) for this theme?? Process it in b&w for this theme etc because I wouldn't have otherwise??
June 3rd, 2014
My first water entry for B&W Fortnight I added a little tint, hope you all don't mind

My shot for the black and white fortnight.
June 7th, 2014
Although i'm in my second year of the project, I haven't done one of these before and I'm not sure what "being tagged in" means. It it something that has to happen before i can participate? Can I just post a picture to my album in the usual way and include the tag for this? Sorry to be so clueless, but I like photographing water in its many manifestations, so would enjoy having a try at this. Thanks.
June 8th, 2014
@tristansmum Stepanie, in this case I think you refer to "tagged" being just a list of previous participants, to enter just add a picture or pictures to your album and add "bw-fn-2" to the tag text box of the specific photos. They will then be seen by whoever is administering any challenge. You can of course link to it by entering a reply here, as Daisy as done above :), but you do't have to.
I am just about to load my attempt now.
The is one rule that you have to adhere to, as it is frowned upon if you don't!! is.....
Enjoy yourself :)
