2020 WEEK 40: B&W in Color

This week’s challenge is to take color photo that appears to be Black and White. As an example, the image of the feather (below) is taken in color. However, because the feather itself is almost completely black and white, and because it was taken against a black background, the image itself appears B&W.

The trick this week will be to find a subject that has no color (or very little color), such that it appears black and white. The choice of subject is up to you: Man-made, natural, everyday, or rare. The only rule is that your black and white-looking photo must be taken in color— no conversion to B&W or color removal is allowed. As always, fun, creative, or out of the box ideas are welcomed 🙂

The Challenge

Take a color photo of a black, white, or gray subject, such that the photo appears to be B&W.
Post your newly taken photo during the week of Sunday, September 27 through Saturday, October 3.
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.
