Some Tips for Great Images

While every image has the potential to convert to black and white, it is no secret that some translate better. The Digital Photography School has some excellent tips to consider to achieve great black and white photos here: https://digital-photography-school.com/achieve-great-black-and-white-photos-in-editing/

Photoshop Techniques

And here is a helpful round up of methods you can use in photoshop https://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-convert-your-images-to-black-and-white-in-photoshop–photo-488.

You have probably created black and white images many times before. I challenge you to try something different or push your boundaries! 🙂

How to upload your image

You have until next Tuesday to upload your image to Cluster. Members have all been sent an invitation to join and most have done so already. If you have any trouble feel free to email Esther. We also encourage you to leave encouraging comments for other members.

We’d love your suggestions/requests for future challenges. Please leave them as a comment under the challenge notification in Cluster or Facebook.

We will also post this competition on our “Friends of BCC” Facebook group so our friends can still participate by sharing their images on Facebook.
