Every week we put your skills to the test in the Photorec.tv Instagram challenge. This is your chance to try something a bit different, maybe learn a new skill, or just get a bit of practice in shooting.

This Week’s Challenge: #PRTV_blackorwhite

With May 4th as the official star wars holiday did you go for the light or slip to the dark side? While the theme might be a bit silly it’s all about thinking about the color in your images and how it affects the photos. We’ve got a few neat shots this week and certainly, some that stand out for thinking outside the box.Next Week's Challenge: #PRTV_flash2Next week you need to flash your subject. It’s a lighting challenge so you need to add a bit of artificial lighting to your subject whether it’s from a cheap flashlight or an expensive strobe.

Toby’s Features:

Perfectly framed and thoughtfully composed - love the B&W treatment here

Black and white with a hint of golden color - nicely captured

The shadows on the walkway really complete this for me!

Roy’s Features:

Black and white lets you really push the look of an image and this architecture shot really fits the bill for this week’s challenge

Considering the challenge I'd have to say going for a high key shot of Yoda wasn't something I thought of this week but really fits the theme.

A bit of work in post but all the focus on this bird for an interesting shot
