The thing about photography is that it is such a good way to start to get to know something about a person. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, but a lot of times, there is also a lot of hidden meaning behind the picture that you wouldn’t know about. Not until you speak with the person who took the picture.

But since we are all so dispersed across the globe, blogging takes the place of one-to-one conversation. I’m very happy that we have representation from London, Thailand, Australia and Singapore today. :D

Barbara and Completely Disappear took very different pictures while focusing on just one particular subject for the image. And while Barbara took portrait of her daughter and Completely Disappear a photo of an orchid, both are symbolic of the close relationships they have with their families. And that’s what made these pictures beautiful to me, beyond the fact that they are nicely taken.

And then we have two shots of dogs, Donna and Bodhi. Bodhi’s human and I were experimenting with different apps for the shots we took. I love this picture of Bodhi, the warm, vibrant hue, unique angle and just the ruff joy of digging in the mud :D It is a happy picture, golden happy.

How I converted this dull photo to high contrast black and white photo

Dull colours in the living room on a cloudy afternoon turned high key black and white image. 

An image, no matter how well composed with expressive subjects can fall just that little bit short due to the dull light of that cloudy day, especially when taken indoors. But with the use of a few mobile photo apps, a little bit of time, the mood of this photo has lifted from drab and dull to spare but eye-catching.

Here’s how I did it on my iPhone for the colour to black and white conversion of the recent A third black, two thirds white post.

It seems we all worked on something we were not too familiar with.

Completely Disappear practiced working on shutter speed while taking pictures on a moving vehicle. Bodhi the first world dog got his picture converted to black and white, rather than his usual colour shots of his beautiful coat. I was pretty much trying to apply the rule of thirds, and sometimes breaking it, when taking shots of Donna in a crate.
