BW

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of BW photos. There are two b&w's: the one called"screwed up" frame and turned into a b&w to save something out of it and the other one is shot on purpose to turn it into a bw. Although it may seem the easiest of all photos, b&w is actually one of the hardest. As we don't have any color the emphasis is totally on lights and shadows. Less details are required for b&w as too much detail might turn the photo in a chess board and the focal point could be lost totally.A bit higher contrast is advised though compared to color photos. And yeah, the blacks should be blacks not dark grey. Sepia lovers: watch that yellow level !
