i came in this morning to start the b&w challenge thread like we decided, with the name you suggested marac ie . "THE B&W 30 Day'er has begun" and someone's already started it ... i prefer your title, coz its different from this one and ppl would really know the difference ... i'm feeling i should start it like you said, coz nothing's in the other one yet, but i dont want to step on anyone's toes ... wish i could phone someone, coz i dont like making these sort of decisions .... its now nearly 7am on the 1st May which is 5pm on the 31th in dpc land ... i wont create a new one but i'll make the change over very obvious with this last post ...

THIS IS THE LAST POST IN THIS THREAD
GO HERE TO POST YOUR BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS ..BLACK & WHITE CHALLENGE THREAD ......

I don't think we should go crazy on starting new threads. ;) It's ready to go. If there's something that need to be added, add it or PM the OP.


I don't think anyone is going crazy. I was just worried about duplicates and since Roz had planned on doing it, I was wondering if there was another thread out there.

It's a fair cop!

DO BEHAVE you two....
Just kidding. Wouldn't be any fun if you two were behaving.

Sorry mum... *GRIN*

Count me in. I won't be able to start until around May 6th, when I'm finally all graduated and stuff. But I'm all in after that.

Another easy method of black and white conversion is using the virtualPhotographer plugin. You can get all sorts of different effects with very little effort.

I don't use it very often myself because I keep forgetting I've got it, but I've had some good results. Just a warning - don't use it in basic editing.

I just installed that within the last 2 weeks, but I have used it yet. Good to know!

A quick question for portraits... how do you guys get candid shots of people with out looking like a stalking creep? just wondering... a few of my B&W ideas include people, but i don't have any models, so im thinking candid.. but i want to live.. :P,


1) Don't stalk.
2) Don't be creepy.

Don't act like you're doing something wrong. You're not. You're a photographer taking pictures. Take pictures. If some one says "No," it means No. In that case don't take pictures of that/those person/people.

;)
