In spite of the incredible popularity of digital photography in general, and creating color images in particular, there will always be room for black and white.
The elegance and timelessness of black and white photography ensures its continual popularity. The fact is that more people are becoming interested in black and white photography for many reasons...
Since your current or next digital camera may have a black and white setting on it, let's find out how we can make the most of it by learning some black and white photography tips. Who knows, you could be the next Ansel Adams!
It was actually taken in "sunny" California north of San Diego.
It was a particularly overcast and dreary day; so much so, that I almost didn't take the shot (sometimes I forget my own tips).
Here's an important black and white photography tip for you that also applies to your color photography.
This was a candid taken at the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. from 100 feet away using a 300mm telephoto lens.
Like most digital photographs, this one was first viewed as a color image. However, the inherent emotional impact did not truly come through as expected.
By processing the same exact photo in black and white, the desired effect is achieved.
In photography, there are very few absolute rules. There is not a particular "category" of pictures that look better in black and white. However, consider keeping this black and white photography tip in mind - babies and children often look very moving in black and white.
Although there is a "formal/big occasion" aura surrounding black and white photography, there's no reason not to use the power of black and white photographs for regular old everyday shots. If you're unsure, take the photo in color and black and white, and you be the judge.
Depending which city and viewpoint you choose, cityscapes often lack a multitude of colors.
Therefore, if because of the time of day, or the subject, experiment with shooting daytime photos in black and white for greater impact.
Take your camera with you wherever you go because you never know what photo opportunities will exist.
By cropping a "No-Big-Deal photo," you can create the subject of interest that you want. Ordinarily, you will want the original file to be at least 1 MB in size. Why? The next photograph has the answer.
Cropping is a basic tool in most photo-editing software packages.
However, I have never seen any software address the most important thing to keep in mind about cropping and composing your shot (especially important when taking group portraits). Read about this tip here.
The magical thing about cropping, is that it's possible to create many unique images from a single source image file. That's magic!
As good as the above cropped image looks, I'll let you be the judge on how it looks here, in black and white.
Here's another NON black and white photography tip: The main thing to be aware of when you are cropping photographs is the number of pixels you end up with.
Simply stated, if you start with a 3MB file (which could have been created from a 6MB resolution camera), you would obtain a high quality 8x10 print.
If you crop 1/4 of the image, you now have a 750KB file... not enough for a good quality 8x10. Remember that there's not much point to have a cropped WOW image that is so small, you can't do anything with it.
Depending upon your photo editing software, you can increase the sharpness (do you notice the difference between the color and black and white sharpness?). But, like most things in photography, play around with it and you will develop your own unique formula for success... i.e., what works FOR YOU!
So, here's your chance to do both; PLUS supply helpful critiques for others. For EACH AND EVERY approved submission, you will get your own web page.
Bottom line... you get to view other black and white pictures; get ideas to use for your own future photos, and supply comments and helpful tips. And what does it cost? Zip. Nada. Not a cent.
Why? Because I'm convinced our visitors have considerably more talent than they have the opportunity to showcase, and doing it this way helps everyone. So, what are you waiting for? Get your black and white beauties ready!
Submitting your Black and White pictures is free and easy. Just fill in the form below, upload your picture, and hit the submit button.
After your photograph is accepted, your picture will become a "live" page on this site. You may upload as many pictures as you want, using a new submission page for each one.

Why learn about black and white photography tips in a world that so emphasizes color? There is an excellent chance that you have never even taken a black and white photograph in your entire life. If that's the case, you're in for a big treat.
Where do you think this photo was taken? If you guessed the east coast of the USA, you're in the majority... but, wrong. 
Very powerful, touching photographs that convey strong emotion often look better in black and white than in color.
If a photograph does not have an entire spectrum of different colors, consider viewing it as a black and white photograph.
This is the original photo taken at a friends house. It's a "no-big-deal" photograph. So, can we do anything creative with it?
The original photograph was cropped to arrive at this photo. Although not a black and white photography tip, cropping is one of the simplest things you can do to a photograph... and it is potentially, the most powerful.
