Black & white landscapes

Monochrome and landscape

photography have been inextricably

linked since the very origins of the

medium, and the advent of digital has

sp arked a resurgence in the creation of

black & white images of the lands around

us. Stripping out the colour in an image

focuses att ention on the fi ner nuances

of the scene or the weather conditions

and adds an extra dose of drama when

the conditions are wild. That’s not to say

that monochrome images always need to

be pushed in terms of contrast ; subtle

renditions of a vist a can be just as

emotive. Make sure you read Lee Frost ’s

insightf ul feature on page 28 about

shooting black & white landscapes and

then send in your most compelling

photographs for a chance to be

published in the June 2018 issue.

To submit your images, head to

outdoorphotographymagazine.co.uk/

submissions. Closing date for entries

is 26 February 2018. See page 70 for

more details and terms and conditions.
