In an outstanding performance in the renowned competition of the German Association Photography (DVF), the members of the Arzberg photo club were allowed to breathe a sigh of relief: they took second place in the club rating and once again show that they have a good knack for strong black and white images. The competition, which has been held in the DVF regional association for five years, attracts the best photographers in the area and demands both creative and technical skills.

A special highlight was the award from Jürgen Richter from Schönbrunn, who became runner -up in the individual ranking. His impressive photography entitled "Libella" received special praise, a clear sign of his talent and the quality of the work that was submitted in the competition.

Each participant may submit a maximum of four individual images, and it is essential that the works are presented in undetected black and white. The dvf-photo explains that the images must be submitted in a DIN A3 image frame with a white border of at least 3 cm to meet the claims of the competition.

The legacy of black and white photography

black and white photography has a long and venerable story that goes back to 1826 when Joseph Nicéphore took the first recording in a camera obscura. This artistic form of expression, as the Independent Photo is a strong medium that can symbolize both hope and despair.

from the Daguerreotype, which was developed by Louis Daguerre in 1839, to the development of the first 35 mm camera by Oskar Barnack in 1925, black and white photography has developed enormously over time. While color photography has become increasingly popular in recent decades, black and white remains an indispensable part of photographic art, which is still used today by many photographers for creative forms of expression.

The award of Jürgen Richter and the success of the Arzberg photo club impressively show that the tradition of black and white photography is also alive in Bavaria and is carried on. The interaction of modern technology and creative vision has led to the fact that both amateur and professional photographers continue to appreciate and maintain this art medium.
