Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Animals

Patagonian Cavy

Patagonian Cavy

This week’s topic is Animals. Any animal as long as it is not a human being. It can have two legs, wings, four legs, or even swim or live in water. Have fun and use your imagination and creativity with this topic.

I took the photo at the right at Rosse Posse Elk Farm in Molalla, Oregon.

For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list at below. Be creative and challenge yourself. Look for contrast or highly textured subjects to shoot.

I am a huge fan of black and white photos. They seem to capture more… when the color is gone the true beauty of the shot stands out. Kudos — beautiful photos.

Great photos. That Patagonian Cavy is an odd little creature. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of it. 🙂
