You have 7 days to take a black and white photo! (in camera or processed afterward)
Why does black and white photography so often grab our attention more? It’s because we have the ability to create STRONGER elements in our frame by taking away much of the distraction that often comes with color. It’s simply less “things” for our brains to take in. But more than that, black and white will accentuate just that, the blacks and whites in your shot, so you can create more contrast and light/shadow play within your frame to tell a powerful story.
Black and white processing also removes any color noise you may have in your image, which can be a great technique to lean on when juggling higher ISO. Typically, you can process black and white much more aggressively than you can color, which can help accentuate the details and “grunge” in your subject.
Here are some interesting shots from this week along with the submission.
