NEW Black and While Challenge Starts Now

August 26th, 2023
I was surprised and honored to learn I won the latest challenge since there were so many great entries.. Pat @pattyblue did such a wonderful job of hosting so thanks Pat. A special thanks to all who voted for my entry as well

Photographer Kevin Landwer-Johan wrote, “Shape, structure, and tone are the backbone of black and white photography. Without good composition that incorporates shape, structure, and tone, monochrome photos will appear weak." Learning to see and compose in B&W has a learning curve. Here are some links to help with that with thanks to @pattyblue and @olivetreeann for doing the research

Keeping this in mind I have chosen the theme of Rule of Thirds as a technique to focus on which should give you lots of latitude for subject matter. I can't wait to see what subjects you come up with and how you present them for this challenge.

The challenge will run from 25 August to 25 September and your photo must be taken during this time period to be eligible.
