Black and white in photography is a separate genre that has quite a number of enthusiasts. Where different from color photographs that have various colors, BW only consists of derivatives of 2 black to white. Why does it have to be BW? why not just color? indeed the color photo has the ability to capture the atmosphere like the original. But with BW, photos are unique and tend to be clearer what is the main focus. There are several reasons for making photos into BW, such as: making POIs clearer with BW, many colors that can be damped so that attention to the main object is not broken. make photos more memorable. Sometimes colored photos are damaged due to improper metering, for example where the noise is very visible can be made interesting by being converted into BW. with noise that many BW photos will actually impress more artistically reinforce the details of the advantages of BW photos, one of which is more visible details. This is due to the lack of color in the photo. Attention to the object will be more focused. ![image]() Black and white photography is only known in two colors, namely black and white, black to white gradations and the difference in black density that forms the image in the photograph itself. In this black and white photo it shows that there is no 'wrong' color due to the temperature of the light source, nor are there colors that are too thick (over saturated) or faded colors. Because people who enjoy black and white photography will focus on 'tones' and won't be confused by other colors. The strength of a black and white photography lies in the black and white gradation itself. In addition, black and white photography also relies on shapes and lines, because the combination of shapes, lines, and shades of black and white will build rhythm in a black and white photographic work. So often black and white photos feel more dramatic and stronger than the color photographs. ![image]()

How many photos above I capture with my own camera when I was on one of the beaches in Bireuen, the name of the beach is Monjambee Beach which is located in the District of Jeumpa Regency Bireuen Aceh. This area is very strategic to get and capture the beauty of sunset and dusk in the afternoon.
