February is finally here and along with it a new theme for the camera phone competition. And I've won again, I wouldn't have thought it could happen again.

For this month I've chosen black and white, I didn't want to come up with a theme that was too hard to do because for instance people in Australia don't have snow right now if you know what I mean. I wanted to do a theme that everyone could do but it could be really creative as well and not boring. So black and white it is. B&W allows for some nice shadows or gradients, it's great for capturing the light and the emotions as it is, no distracting colours in the background. As one photographer put it: B&W captures people's feelings, colour captures their clothes.

Here are a few links and ideas.
Oh and the photos in the first link are mine.
Photos, tips1, tips2, examples, examples.

The rules:
