On Sundays I normally publish a photo challenge in black and white that I call Black & White Sunday. I usually come up with a fresh theme for it, but once a month I publish a recurrent (monthly) theme: after and before where you are supposed to show the same photo, regardless of the subject, in both monochrome and colour.
This is a way of encouraging you not only to set your camera to black and white setting, but to shoot in colour and to convert it into black and white in post processing. I think that this may be a good exercise in seeing. Hope you will join me. Remember, any subject is OK as long as you show it both in colour and black and white. Wishing you all a beautiful day!
Hi Paula,
I’m a bit late. I hope I haven’t posted this one before. I need to do something to the photographs to remind me where
I’ve posted them. I hope you enjoy my selections for this week.
I like your B & W very much. In fact, I like it better than the color; although, I like the blue peeking out in the color photo.
Each one has it’s merits. I think that’s why I like converting them. Thank you for hosting the challenge.
Have a great week …

OK … got it. So we have almost a week to add it to our blog. PHEW … I like that.
I’m having fun with the B&W challenge. There’s a whole new prospective when the color is gone. Thank you for being the great challenge hostess that you are. Have a FUN wednesday … 😎

I always struggle with black & white. Yours always look smooth and silky. Mine look crunchy. But i tried something different this time 🙂

What an eclectic choice of music. The album title sounds like a warning, though…

Paula I think I prefer the black and white version of this photo. There is something about the clouds, the bridge, the water- I just love it.

B&W is my favourite this week – I love the sky especially. And it is generally a more moody image, I feel.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Paula.

Somehow more mysterious and dramatic, I think!

Fascinating. You take the ‘pretty’ out and all the lines emerge and the composition is much stronger.
