Trying to do the "Flash Of Red" challenge this year.
Task was "Go soft- look for and shoot only small tonal changes in the scenes you’re photographing and in your post-processing." and "...Remember the idea here is to not have any extreme or bold contrasts."
Its interesting to do this sort of exercise (I am too), and it makes you realise the extremes you can get in a b&w shot. I did the high contrast shot yesterday, and will attempt this sort of shot over the next few days.
