March Competition: Tinkers Clough in Black, Grey and/or White

The competition for March is simple. Go out to Tinkers Clough and do the best Black, Grey, and/or White photograph you can. Post it to Flickr. Post it in a comment here. It’s okay to use ‘old’ photographs, but extra consideration will be given to new photographs (taken in March). We will accept entries until March 31st. Only 2 entries per person. Winner will be able to choose a prize from the prize pool, but until February’s winner has chosen, I have no idea what that pool might be! =)

Thanks to Google for posting their latest update to streetview, which shows ‘aroundabouts’ where Tinkers Clough is. They also provide more inspiration for B&W photographs of trees on their google image search. You don’t necessarily need HDR or infrared to create something beautiful in B&W! Visit one of our PhotoSurgeries at the Vale Inn on Thursday nights at 7 pm to learn more techniques (in the field or afterwards) or read some tips online.

Be creative. Experiment. Challenge yourself. Think very big. Capture the very small.

Photographs in this post are courtesy of Thomas McDonnell and Janet Beech. Uncanny! February’s contest is still being judged, but be patient we will announce the winners and comments soon!
