We've seen the B&W's in many ways, but in this contest enter a Black and White shot with the contrast turned up to 100%, so there's ONLY black and white - No shades of gray. Using this technique can make for a pretty interesting picture. Good luck!
Required level: 10+ or higher. Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

MnMCarta: why thank you! You'll receive a bill within 7 to 10 business days! hehehe ( 5 years and 3329 days ago )
MnMCarta: ok I'm feeling stupid now... all the pics I've put at 100% contrast still have some gray tones to them... I'm sorry if this is stupid and i hope it doesn't become a big issue. I just wanted to see what a regular picture looks like as bnw only with no shades of gray. Maybe there are specific pics that will work that way? Anyone wonna help me? ( 5 years and 3329 days ago )
MnMCarta: and I have done this before but I think I might have had something that turned out BnW only but it's been so long. I just remember how awesome some shots came out. :0) ( 5 years and 3329 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Seems interesting. ( 5 years and 3329 days ago )
MnMCarta: ok well in seeing these entries so far it IS possible to get that JUST BnW picture with NO GRAY. One question I would have though is being photography contest, the STAMP filter is NOT allowed correct? Mods? ( 5 years and 3328 days ago )
janetww: shame I can't do this one, this is the type of stuff I love to do.... ( 5 years and 3328 days ago )
jadedink: MnM...you set your contrast up as high as it could go after changing it to bnw? because, it worked everytime for me. only thing is, not alot of pictures actually look GOOD like that. :P
and i don't think the stamp filter is allowed... :P ( 5 years and 3328 days ago )
MnMCarta: yea I did but I seem to have better luck with stuff that is sillouetted or already bnw or background is blown out. ( 5 years and 3328 days ago )

Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
Really nice, so jealous because I had some lovely images of giraffes and was going to do the same thing but none of them worked because of the angles and backgrounds. Good one.
I just downloaded the high res and carried on increasing contrast until it was only solid black and white and this still looks really good so I suggest you do that before its removed.

Ok...redone...ran it thru twice again....should be good to go now...thanks!
There is still a little grey in this, I checked it out in photoshop, it does not look to bad if you decide to fix it. Also awesome shot, I have a feeling i've seen it a few times before...
author says:
I don't think I've used this before??? I literally have dozens of web shots like this...but I did fix the grey...thanks

Love it, the contrast on the zebra works perfectly. Nice composition too.
Erm Ray... what zebra...
Ory, maybe the zebra is hidden behind the huge GIRAFFE
great shot
Glorious..
haha, the zebra is nice but the giraffe is even better!
The giraffe is standing on the zebra's shoulders so it could get a better view.
GOOD JOB!
Congrats for your first place!
