Black & White Photography Composition
 Sonia
writes, "One of the most limiting factors in black and white
photography is that color is absent. Therefore, black and white
photography heavily relies on shapes and dynamic lines for
interest. Leading lines which are curved, slanted lines which
overlap across each other are the ones that provide black and
white photography the dynamism that it needs. The curved lines
that one may find in bottles and vases might be a good subject
for black and white photography."

Landscape Photography Styles
 Muna
wa Wanjiru writes, "Landscape photography is not an easy task,
but it is well worth the try as you open yourself up to the vast
array of possibilities and you learn to think outside of the
box. So the next time you go to far and distant lands you won't
just be taking the same old boring shot that everyone before you
has, instead you'll be looking at the various possibilities to
be had from different angles and how you can possibly accomplish
landscape photography."
