Here’s the challenge:
Black and White Photography Challenge: Seven days. Seven black and white photos of your life. No people. No explanation. Challenge someone new each day.
Since I’m an old time player at this game, I’m letting people in as long as it’s not a portrait and not the primary part of the image.
I invite you to consider giving this challenge a try, even if you’ve done it already. An extra push to do better photography is good for your art. Moreover, finding a black & white picture that somehow represents “you” in a visual way poses an interesting challenge — an artistic double-whammy, so to speak. At least one of the pictures I used in the first round of these challenges turned out to be one of my most popular-ever posts.
Who’d have thunk it.
This challenge comes from Luccia Gray at “REREADING JANE EYRE.”

I love the fading/blurred background and the leaves. Trees look great in black and white, don’t they?

It works as long as I can get a light background behind the leaves. The fuzzy background is because I was using my very long lens VERY long, so it had a really short depth of field.

I need to learn to do that and take proper photos. I just use my smartphone for the moment.

These are times when having a camera — and knowing how lenses work — helps. You can do some nice pictures with a cell phone too, mind you, but it’s not how you learn to use a camera. When everything is completely automatic, you have no idea how you got your results. For a lot of people, that’s good enough

I’d like to learn to do it properly, with a real camera lense, and although I’m too busy right now, it’s going to happen…

Sort of melancholy to me, Marilyn. It’s either the end of the nice season or it’s a few hangers on through the winter. It’s very artistic.

It’s the hangers on in late fall. But it’s so gray outside today. Again. At least no snow is on the agenda and it supposed to brighten up tomorrow.
