Phoneography Monday Challenge: Black and White
Apps: Samsung Note 10.1 LTE camera, Snapseed, VSCOcam
Out with the old, dried hydrangeas and in with the fresh new blooms, Chinese New Year comes around next week. Black and white is not the auspicious colour, no. Not for CNY. But they do show up the texture of the festival.
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.
Just an exercise to make the lines more obtrusive to the eye than the subject.
I took a picture which I thought was ideal for the theme of lines, but the resulting image ended up sub-optimal in the brightness and clarity. Here is how mobile photo editing “saved” the picture and gave it a different life as an abstract image.
Following the tutorial, I also have more photographs of the same subject from different POVs ;)
The future looks bright and no stink-eye cat will get in my way!!
