Black and White Challenge #76 - "Film Noir"

November 5th, 2022
Thank you to Eugene (aka: @thholyhorse ) for hosting the black & white 75 challenge. And huge thanks to everyone who participated and voted... and thanks for voting for my image 😊.

For the next b&w challenge i have chosen "film noir" photography.

i found the definition below on this website:
https://www.lightstalking.com/film-noir-photography/

"Film noir photography is praised for its dark, moody and/or dramatic images that can have the look and feel of dark scenes from movies made in the 40s, 50s and 60s. The composition and lighting are quite specific and give these images a bold look."

have a read - it has lots of helpful suggestions, as well links to other websites that you may find helpful.

The challenge will run from October 29 to November 30. Photos must be taken during that time frame. Please tag your images with bw-76. Current entries may be viewed here: https://365project.org/tags/bw-76
