Worst black and white (BW) photography





I love black and white photography, because it is so easy to do a bad job. For example, if the color rendition of the lens that you are using is just awesome, then you can take that out of the equation entirely from the very beginning. Trust me, there are others. People that are really into BW photography tend to have a lot of rules, so just by sheer chance, you would have a better luck breaking conventions. I do think that you have to be careful, because sometimes thinking outside of the box can make a great leap. Many advancement in all areas at one time or another was propelled at least in part by someone thinking outside of the box even though he was probably being ridiculed the entire time. Sounds familiar . . . . .


Here, the picture is absolutely putrid. There is not one area (perhaps other than the area where the carpet is) that is helped by taking the color out in my opinion. This will be another reject for sure at PPG!!
