Objective:
Choose and shoot a subject well suited to black and white photography.
Details:
1) Grab a camera! We’ll be taking black and white photos, so you’ll need to use black and white film if you’re going with a traditional camera, or use photo editing/filters if you’re going digital. (Camera phones will work fine for this.)
2) Watch 9 quick tips for BETTER BLACK & WHITE photos from Jamie Windsor. (Don’t let the title fool you- It’s a really fun video!) While some of the tips provided are for advanced photographers, don’t get overwhelmed! There is plenty that photographers of all levels can take away from Windsor’s words.
3) Keeping in mind what you have learned, plan to photograph, or keep your eye out for, a subject well suited to black and white photography.
4) Take your black and white photo. Better yet, take a bunch of photos! The more photos you take, the more likely you are to get something you’re proud of.
5) Choose your best black and white photo and post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts. Alternatively, you can also share your photo in our Facebook group.
