1. This article explains why shooting in black and white helps you focus on composition. The main point I thought was most important from this article was his first point; that colour no longer distracts. Shooting in B&W instantly removes the distraction of colour and the photographer no longer has to worry about distracting background colours. B&W adds a level of simplicity to photography in that way. 2. This article gives you some tips for B&W photography. The main point that I found interesting and very valuable from this article was that graphics make for bigger drama. Compositional strategies like leading lines, pattern, and especially vanishing lines combined with B&W make for a more powerful image. 3. In this slide show on composition, the author has over-scored famous B&W photographs to analyze their composition. He has also altered them digitally to show how all components are important to their balance.
Because we are focusing on framing and leading lines in this project, the sections on those compositional strategies were the ones I thought were the most important. I was also intrigued by some of the other strategies that I will definitely try out such a triangles and curves. Overall this slideshow widened my ideas about each compositional and showed how important each of them are.
