Black and white photo challenge – day 1

January 5, 2015 · by Michelle Hill · in Away from Melbourne · 19 Comments

I have taken on another new photo challenge (which I kind of self nominated for through Deb’s world). Each day for five days I will be posting a black and white photograph.

Feel free to switch me off if you’re sick of getting emails about my photo challenges – I won’t be offended.

The photo I’ve selected for day one was taken recently at my son-in-law’s firefighting course graduation. At the end of the ceremony the graduates demonstrated their firefighting skills. It was fascinating to watch and the stormy sky provided a perfect backdrop for this shot.

    Oh really?! Well it’s because your photos are so beautifully captured. The perspective here is commanding with that line of men and the arc of the water and then the swarming sky. It’s a great photo. I love black&white ☺️
