Assignment Three: Black and White

This week I explored the 'black and white' side of photography. This is a really great effect to do with photos because it focuses your eye on the small details of the picture; some that you may not notice with the bright colors visible. It also adds a simplicity to them and to me it makes them seem clean and crisp which I really enjoy. My best photo is of one of the Arabian horses at a barn not far from my house. I like the depth of field and the focus on the dark eye while the background is blurred out. It helped that the horse was white because the darkness of the eye is exaggerated.

ISO: 3200
Aperture: f/ 5.6
Shutter: 1/1600

Here is a slideshow of my best black and white photos.
