We are still with the joy in the body of the Christmas holidays and vacations, do we take advantage of the moment?
HOW DOES IT WORK? (REMINDER)
Every week I will propose a new challenge , it is a topic that you will have to capture in a photograph and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog, putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. The themes will be varied, from portraits to Macro photography, going through landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The topics will be proposed on Fridays , so that you have the whole weekend to work on them. You will have one week to upload your photograph (one photo per participant), until Thursdayof the following week. On Thursday I will update the article with the photo that has captivated me the most and on Friday I will propose a new topic so that you have the whole weekend to capture your images, and so on…
WEEKLY CHALLENGE 192: JOY IN BLACK AND WHITE (FROM 01/06/2017 TO 01/12/2017)
Shooting in black and white is not just putting the monochrome option on your camera. It's not just using an editor to go grayscale. Shooting in black and white is to focus attention on the emotion, on the scene, on the protagonists. It is, among other things, giving your photography timelessness, romanticism and credibility.
That's why today I challenge you to capture an emotion in black and white. It's about joy, very easy to capture in color, but what about black and white? You will have to verify it for yourself while you have fun living happy moments or generating them for your challenge photo. To achieve this, I leave you 108 resources that will help you when shooting in black and white. I'm waiting for your picture!
As usual, to participate in this week's challenge upload your photo to the Facebook wallfrom the Photographer's Blog: In the description of the photo please mention the keyword “Joy Challenge in Black and White” followed by a title of your choice .
ALTERNATIVE MEANS TO PARTICIPATE
Those of you who are not from Facebook have the following social networks to participate.

UPDATE
But what a good wave you have! After seeing these photos I just want to smile, thank you! Here is a small sample to infect you:
I fell in love with this photo as soon as I saw it, it is about «Sisters», by Francina López. It's a wonderful photograph, perfectly imperfect. And I say this because, despite the lack of focus on some of the main characters and having a burned part, it is perfect. It is one of those photos that is better to fail in something and not lose this moment of complicity and laughter from the sisters. A photo that seems that at first it was going to be a pose and ends in a fresh, spontaneous image full of love and joy, where the color is in the smile of each one of them, nothing more is needed. But not all are failures, we must highlight the composition and the treatment of black and white and, above all, know what is the right moment to shoot. Congratulations, Francina, and thank you for sharing this precious moment and infecting us with your joy!
