Black and White

This challenge seems to the hardest for me! I love color and soft images with not much contrast so it is a real challenge! Although I love old images and have worked in b&w film development, this is much like it and seeing it after capturing. In this exercise you will need to turn your camera capturing mode to black and white. (not sure how use a little research skills and look in the manual or Google it based on your camera model) Yes I know you can change it in RAW and PS but this exercise is to get it black and white right in the camera before post processing images, look at it this way next to no post processing time needed.

At first this limitation may seem very frustrating, I know it was for me, imagine how it felt for people years ago. Doing this exercise helps see things you may have overlooked and in a completely different way, think in terms of shapes, form, and contrast. Composing this way will help improve the composition in color photography images immensely! When working in the Black and White Mode experiment with the contrast settings in camera or post processing to perfect the highlights and shadows in a good monochrome image.

Good luck and thanks for reading!
