Learning to photograph our children.

Black and White Personal Challenge

August 06, 2008 By: Jessica Category: Challenge

So in light of the new Tip of the Week which covers converting color photos into cool black and white images, I have decided that I am going to issue myself a personal photo challenge for the day. I am going to have my camera slung around my neck all day and shoot a bunch of photos, all with the intent of capturing a few that will look great converted to B&W.

Anyone want to take the personal challenge with me? I bet you’ll find some great momshots today!

I’ll let you know how it goes. :)

Can’t wait to see how it goes. Some pictures just lend themselves nicely to black & white, don’t they!
