Weekly Photography Assignment: Black and White

Home » Announcements » Assignments » Weekly Photography Assignment: Black and White

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to encourage yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 171: Black and White

Our theme this week is Black and White and we’d love to see what striking nature photos you can create with black and white! Black and white can add a classic, timeless look to your nature images, and enhance the contrast between dark and light, as well as draw your viewer’s eye to shapes, patterns and details within your shots. You can shoot your black and white images ‘in camera,’ or edit them with this effect later! Look for contrast, detail, and shapes in your compositions…the options are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring black and white nature photos you can create.

Here are some tutorials to help you:

Last week’s winner

Last week’s theme was Long Exposure– and our favourite image this week is:

This week’s winner is this image, captured by Andrew Thomson when they ‘went to Nudgee Beach Australia, a place known for its fantastic sand patterns, to shoot the sunrise last weekend. I didn’t do my research very well and the tide was too high and also the sunrise was not very inspiring. I still managed to get this shot. 10sec, F8, 24mm.’ We love the striking tones and mood produced by this image, and the way the use of long exposure softens the water, allowing our eye to be drawn to the featured lone tree subject. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
