This week’s challenge is to take a high contrast black and white photo. In particular, the light areas should be rather bright, and the dark areas should be rather dark. While you can certainly have some areas with mid-tones (neither light nor dark), the overall emphasis should be on the light and dark areas, as well as the contrast between the two.
The choice of subject is completely up to you. As well, you can achieve the high contrast look in camera, or with image editing software, or any combination of the two. As always, creative or out of the box ideas are welcomed and encouraged!

The Challenge
- Take a black and white photograph that is predominately high contrast. The subject can be anything that you like.
- Post your newly taken photo during the week of Sunday, January 5 through Saturday, December 11.
- Please remember to comment on at least FIVE photo submissions this week by answering the question “why?” in your comments. In other words, “why do I like (or not like) this photo?” or “why did this photo catch my eye?” Thank you!
The friendly community guidelines are pretty simple:
- Take a new photo for the current weekly theme, not something from your back catalog or someone else’s image.
- Post your photo each week to our active communities on Facebook or Flickr (or both). Tag the photo: #2020photochallenge #photochallenge #tempusaura
- Don’t leave home without your camera. Participating in the 2020 Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge is fun and easy.
