Assignment: Make Photos for Black and White Conversion

Description:

Make at least 36 photos of anything that interests you.  This isn’t just about turning bright colors into black and whites.  It is about creating photographs that will change in character because of the differences between black/white and color. Be ready to discuss why you thought the photos were more successful as black and white photos.

NO FLOWERS!

Things to consider:
– Was color a distraction
– Did losing the color change the relationship between objects in the photo
– Did the emotional content (mood/atmosphere) of the photo change
– Were there forms in the photo that became more or less important when the color was removed

Submit: 

10 converted black and white photos in slideshow
