Smiley


Here is another old photo. Also shot with my Sony Xperia P back then. I think the scribbled smiley isn’t impressive but funny. But I probably liked how grungy the wall looked like. The photo however only looked great in black and white because it made the wall textures become more apparent. It actually looked a lot more grungy in black and white. Continue reading Smiley

Lübeck in Black and White


Here is an older photo. I shot this photo of Lübeck in 2013 with my Sony Xperia P phone. Honestly, the colored photo looked dull and I decided to try different black and white settings. I like this a lot in black and white. As I mentioned quite often in the past, I also like to upload my older photos that I shot with phones or point-and-shoot cameras because they’re not exactly bad. I want to have a place for them too and don’t like it if I don’t make use of them. So, that’s why I share older photos … Continue reading Lübeck in Black and White

Portrait of a Figure


I saw this figure in front of a Chinese restaurant and decided to take a photo because I did take different photos of figures in the past.

I actually shoot most of my family or friends portraits with that lens too. Continue reading Portrait of a Figure

Unsharp photos look better when converted to black and white, because blurriness is then less apparent. So, that’s why I converted the image to black and white. It’s not the best photo but it’s the first time I was able to take a photo of a squirrel in action… Continue reading Jumping Squirrel

Black Kitty


I need to sleep soon but I thought I quickly upload a photo to my blog. I shot the photo today and it might be one of the black cats I showed you previously. It’s very likely because I found it in the same garden alley but this time alone. I liked the photo a lot in black and white but the colored photo is great too even if it was shot during sunset but I was able to edit the image on a way that it looks good. Excuse me, I will show you the colored version and a … Continue reading Black Kitty
