A week in black and white

I have just finished my week of black and white and I would really recommend doing it as it forced me to think outside my comfort zone with my camera. It is easy to do the occasional black and white shot but to do it for a week does become a real challenge because so many things don't work in black and white.

Black and white is great for low light and nightime. I took this picture with my iso on a whopping 10,000 knowing that any grain would add to the effect of the night shot.

I took the above shot on an overcast day with my iso at 500

Flowers always look good in black and white but plants can sometimes look flat

 Kitchen equipment is always good to photograph in black and white

We are also doing black and white this month with our diptych over at TwoTakes so do have a look.  This week I am going to do a week of colour if anyone wants to join me.
