Photo Assignment #2: Black and White

This week I tried to take pictures with the theme of black and white.When I chose this assignment, I knew it would require strong contrast in order to make the object stand out. Too much gray wouldn't be a black and white photo, it would be...well, just gray.. The picture below is what I believe to be my best black and white photo:


ISO: 200
Shutter Speed: 1/110 seconds
Aperture: f/4.1






This was a challenging theme for me, mostly because I had to find objects and backgrounds that contrasted each other. I thought the picture I chose as my best picture showcased the best contrast between black and white, and also showed the white threads on the boots as well. The  lighting also played a major role in how the black and white turned out, and I tried to avoid dark lighting so my photos wouldn't end up gray. Overall, this was probably my favorite photo assignment so far, not because it was easy to do, but because I like the way my black and white pictures turned out; simple, yet of quality.

  2. I really like your black and white photos. They are very crisp and clear and the black and white effects the photos in a positive way. Your best photo is neat because it makes the viewer want to know the story behind the shoes. Awesome photos!
