Abstracts in B&W too...

If abstracts are making the ordinary extraordinary, converting them to black and white can take that one step further, as you are no longer just looking for pattern, color, line, shape etc. But now have the added task of searching for black to white CONTRAST.

***Your task is to shoot 24 more abstract images with a focus on contrast and shadow. Places to shoot: a cemetary, a street with very old brick buildings or houses, a junkyard, a used car lot, a basement, or a dense forest.

Friday we will learn 4 techniques for turning images to black and white.

Both Abstracts and B&W images will be due on Friday. You will turn in:

* a contact sheet of 42 abstract images (good, diverse, unique, interesting)
*one amazing abstract to print
*a contact sheet with 24 abstracts in B&W (focused on contrast)
*one B&W abstract image to print
