Black & White Sunday: Landscape
The choice of black and white is very popular in street, architecture and portrait photography, but it is a less obvious option when it comes to shooting landscapes.
I could not resist posting another photo (that some of you could see in colour before) of Corsica, but this time in black and white.
Do you have some black and white landscapes that you want to share? If you do, please leave me the links to your Black & White Sunday posts; you have time till next Sunday.
NOTICE: I’m taking a break next week, so the next scheduled post will be on the 12 of March – guest challenge with the theme: “abstract”.

Paula, this is absolutely gorgeous. This is a strong composition, and it looks amazing enlarged.
Yes, I’m a B/W addict in general but I’ve always loved B/W landscapes. One of my ongoing projects is about B/W landscapes, and I’ve shown very little of it. I’ve shot lots, and rejected many from the project. There are currently 11 completed pieces in it that I’m satisfied with. I’ve so far revealed only 3 to others. In time, I will begin showing the rest.

I love it in colour, but it is incredibly striking in black and white. The clouds are something special. And I do like landscapes in b&w.
Have a great break Paula. Is this your Venice trip?
