Theme of the Week: Black and White

view profile

doug_r  Pro User  says:

The theme of the week is In Black and White. This week's theme is a bit more challenging: You may include any subject but the image must be shown in black and white. Keep in mind that black and white is uniquely suited to emphasizing texture and shape over color. Your entries should reflect the unique properties that black and white bring to your macros. Of course, sepia, duotones, tritones, quadtones, and other monochromatic treatments are just fine but please no photoshop color cutouts.

Post up to four (Small size) photos from the pool. Tag them with C&CMP-BW. The Top 3 will be posted next monday on the Closer and Closer Macro Photo Blog at http: www.ccmphotoblog.blogspot.com/

Here are some examples to get you going:

Folks: Please be sure your entries are black and white closeups and Macro images. Any subject is fine, but they still have to belong in this group.

Thanks!
