It’s Friday! There was no prompt last week because I sort of went into lurk mode - it’s a bad habit that I need to work on.

This week’s prompt is black and white.

Whether it’s a two-tone cat or something quite mundane made dramatic with filters, I want to see how the lack of colour can be a focus of your shot.

Usual rules apply: No NSFW and no shots you didn’t take yourself.

    Yeah it does make sense. Professionals etc can actually tweak the tone darkness/lightness of each set of colours in an image (e.g darken all the cyans by 15%, lighten all the reds 20%) individually to get the best contrast mix. That’s the secret to getting good black and white reproductions of colour paintings for example.

    We’re probably all using different filters and some will have presets that increase contrast. My go-to is photoshop express for android; you can really play around with it.
