How to Use This Board

Here's our
Twentieth Challenge for you all.

BLACK and WHITE

Details:

This topic was chosen by Karma who won our last Challenge. The subject of the next Mini Challenge is Black and White. Karma says, "Submit a picture that is NOT color. It can be black and white, sepia, tritone, or duotone, just not a full color photograph. If you don't shoot black and white, or can't convert your shots in post processing, shoot something that has only the colors black and white in it."

Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes. If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo. If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it. It's best if your photos are at least 500 pixels wide so that they are easily seen.

Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.

The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on May 17, 2008 and then we'll vote on them.

Please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it. Please only enter photos taken by you.

Please put a title above your photo. We need the title for the poll listing.

Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge. So start posting. Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
Remember, this is a fun project!

Castlefield Manchester taken under the railway viaducts, not a stones throw away from the set of Coronation street, there were patches of ice on the canal that day.

The Algarve this time and this bedspread hanging out to dry in the sun, white against white apartment blocks. A bollard had been vandalised here with metal reinforcing bars trailing along the ground, tripped over one, managed not to fall, otherwise I'd have really gotten hurt.

Jane, thanks for your comments on the Killer Whale. Iwas looking for the Larger Whales but it was a little to early. This picture isn't an entry but shows the Whale with her baby. Hope everyone enjoys the picture.

These are all shot with my Sony Handycam video camera. The whens should all be within the last two years- do you need more specificity?

Siblings in the Rain

I found these two, of three young 'coons in an empty trash can, in the rain. They'd managed to fall into the can, and couldn't get themselves out. We turned the can on it's side so they could get out. One ran out, but these two huddled together. I shot a few pictures before they finally ventured out. They were quite expressive!

I'm calling this one Getting To Know You. This was taken last summer as a young visitor was getting acquainted with my dog, Rocko. They were both happy about being together, the little boy not having been around many dogs.

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8

Nita · May 04, 2008, 03:11:07 PM

Another. This I've called Love Language because...well, it is.

Same camera. Taken in December. This is my granddaughter Angel, and my granddaughter, Megan. Sisters.

This will be my last entry. I guess it could be called Standing Still.

These standing dead and bare trees are so photographic. We have a park called Empire Lakes (renamed John Toppit, I think). In part of one of the lakes is a marshy area where these trees are in the water. I don't know why they died. I also have a picture of this area, with a bridge that goes out over the water and then ends.

I used B and W for this one, but the originals are in color.

This is my last entry. I thought it fitting to enter a picture Titled "Grampa Ralph." He is shown here with Debbie his Grand Daughter. Ralph is acually my Father In Law. He taught me a lot about Photography and actually would grade my pictures. This picture is in honor of him for all the help he gave. The picture was taken with a Nikon D80 on Shutter Priority mode with Fill Flash. This was at our House in Lawrenceville. It was our 2007 Thanksgiving get together.
