This is my first try at a black and white photo. I truly love color images but I am becoming more and more amazed at the power that black and white images have. I like that b&w keeps a focus on shapes, light & shadows, lines, and perspective. I will definitely be experimenting with more black and white photos.
You are so right about the power of b&w - keep saying I want to try it - even have some that I really like - just have a hard time visualizing what would make good subjects and what wouldn't. Really do like how you're immediately drawn to these shapes.
@milaniet I know exactly what you mean about not being sure what would make good b&w subjects . . . I think getting comfortable with b&w photos will be an ongoing learning experience for me. :-) Thank you for your comment, Milanie!
Good for you!
I took a B&W challenge where I had to post one B&W each day for 5 days (on FaceBook). It was a struggle to get shots that weren't just B&W, but actually benefitted from taking out the color.
@colleenculhane I can now definitely understand that struggle. So you are doing a photography project on Facebook also? Wow! Thanks so much for your comment, Colleen! :-)
