Sorry I haven't had a chance to comment on any of the great stuff everyone has been posting to this one.
There is some really stand out material here...Gimi is correct about the nature of the forum challenges..
These are more informal and Iwe really do encourage you to interact with the other photographers and talk about what you posted or they posted, or different ideas or techniques..
jeroni's shot is my favorite so far...
Andreas, my point was, B&W is the basics of Photography..Sure a lot of people started in the color world, I'd be willing to bet quite a few here started in the digital world.
It's like asking (for example) Eddie Van Halen to play a set on an accoustic Guitar., or or asking "Will I Am" to record a Bluegrass band with one microphone on a single take. (Ok, that's a really obscure reference)
But it makes a point, It's an exercise in the basics..It's also a good way to explore and learn about the way light and dark work together
