Challenge 140: Nature in Black and White

    Sorry about the delay in uploading this. I had a few ideas in mind, but I wasn't really sure how easily they could be executed. But I saw this on the National Geographic website, and I thought it sounded perfect. Nature is everywhere, and capturing it on camera is something that everybody will be able to do, even with a camera phone. What I liked about the challenge, though, is that nature can be REALLY colourful. It can be really hard to take a photograph of something that colourful and turn it into a nice-looking black and white photograph! (At least I find it hard!)

    Here's the National Geographic assignment (closed now):
    http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/assignments/nature-black-and-white/#popular

    There are example photos there, but I'm sure it's pretty understandible :) And I don't want to give anyone tunnel vision with just a couple of examples :P




    Usual rules apply! Thanks, everybody, and good luck!! :)

    Rules:
    - Closing Date is 2 weeks from now (i.e. Tuesday 23/09/2014 at 5pm).
    - Only photos taken with this challenge in mind qualify - therefore the photo must be taken between now (Tuesday 09/09/2014 at 5pm) and Tuesday 23/09/2014.
    - The photo must be taken by the person submitting it.
    - Only one photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
    - The next task/subject is to be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after their post at the closing date/time.

    That's it! Thanks everyone for all the entries. I think the photography here is really impressive. The winner with a fantastic 25 Thanks is keps! Now, he messaged me in advance to say that he would be away for a while, and unable to upload the next challenge if he won. Therefore, he asked for the person in second place to put up the next challenge. However, two fantastic photos - one from Stephanie Worried Week, the other from doddly - both received 20 Thanks. Therefore, there's a tie-break!

    I'm not entirely sure how to choose one person above the other. Perhaps a moderater could help?

    But for now, well done to keps, Stephanie Worried Week and doddly, whose photos can be seen below, and to everybody that entered. Really enjoying the photos! :)

    First place: keps
