there's mystery in black & white photos

hi jayant! thanks again for the compliment. but i'd rather that you rate the picture as well so i would know my rating as a "photographer". hehehe. as to the glasses, it just so happened that the pics that i uploaded were those that i had shades on. i'll upload photos without the glasses next time. :)

you're right. i would greatly appreciate if you could rate this shot. it'll help me earn more through the rating you can give. hehehe. hope you can help me with this. *wink* thanks!

hi there! thanks for the compliment. know what? you're right. i should've taken photography way back my college days. after all, it's one of my interests. i will continue to upload pics here and wait for your comments. :) but maybe i will just upload my own pics (with close-up shot of my face) on my profile and not in discussions. thanks agen! :)

i agree with you. it is over-exposed to sunlight. maybe it's because that it was taken at 2:00pm on a summer day. also, it was only taken by a nokia 6600 phone thus the resolution is not that good unlike if it's taken from a digital camera. thank you so much for your comments, norstar. :)

Keep up the nice photos, and I'll keep appreciating them. I don't see much of my mate anymore since he moved interstate, just once a year, if that. He actually did my wedding photos for me, though used colour for that special occaision, and my wife and I posed for some humourous shots, too, because he was happy to do that as a joke!

thanks for the comment muscare. i hope that i can know your friend too. im so glad that there are people who appreciate black & white photography. thanks for appreciating my little art. :)

hahaha! there's no wrong taking wacky shots. i think they're cool! and for wedding pictures, colored photos suit best. maybe you could post some of your pictures, too?

hello. :) thank you so much. you're right about b&w pics having beauty in them. so natural and so mysterious, ain't it? keep posting!

ohhh, thanks a lot balasri. i am really flattered. :)

Forgot to mention that I rated your photo.

Hi there dana! Oh my gosh, are you saying that the shot could pass up for a Dior in the fifties photo? And that you're considering to hang it up on the wall?!?! Not that I'm taking it seriously though but wow, I'm really, REALLY flattered. Thanks so much girl for your appreciation and also for your rating. Though I must say that it won't look that good had not it been of the Adobe CS, the photo-editing software that I use. I think that I should give credit to it, too. Hehehe. Damn right that black & white photo looks very elegant....with a dash of mystery in it. Maybe that's precisely why I'm very, very attracted to it. :) Now I'm inspired to make other shots like that. You guyz somehow boost my (what's the word?)....morale? Anyways, thank you and keep posting, dana! :)

Sure does!. They certainly are classical memory lane.. - DNatureofDTrain

Hi there! I didn't know that black and white photos last longer. Though they really have become a certified classic. And yeah, just staring at them makes us kind of dreamy, like they bring our souls into different time and place. I don't know if you get what I mean but yeah, it's just how I feel with b&w photos. Mysterious, eh? Keep posting "dNatureOfDTrain"! ;)

uNCLE bOB? hMMMM? dO i KNOW YOU IN THE REAL WORLD? iF NOT CALL ME gRANDPA bOB PLEASE? i HAVE A NIECE THAT'S ONLINE AND SUPPOSED TO SIGN UP BUT THE PROFILE DOESN'T FIT HERS. lol.

ok then. i'll just call you grandpa bob. :) i thought you would like to be called uncle than grandpa since it sounds younger, right? hahaha. see yah 'round grandpa bob! :)

hi there uncle bob! thanks a lot for rating my photo! :) i do have a photo editing software. i use adobe cs. yeah, sepia is great. i also have a sepia of this one. but i prefer the b&w here. it has more dramatic effect. i do have more sepia pics of myself. i'll post 'em in my profile as soon as i have enough time. i'll try to see your pics too and rate it! :) see yah 'round uncle bob! :)

thanks a lot andak for rating my pic! *mwahugzz* you could also try doing black and white photography. just take a shot which you think will suit black & white color and then just edit it on adobe or any other phot-editing software. i'll give you a tip: sceneries look good in b&w. :)
