Weekly photo contest: Black and white

[CusiUBS]

I took this photo recently with my Nokia Lumia 1520.
The 1520 was just arrived so I decided to go my local skatepark and film some action!
I used a DSLR tripod and ProShot doing a photo every 3 seconds with me skating around the park. This is a photo a took that day.
Edited with Adobe Photoshop Express for Windows Phone.

My brother and I exchange phones occasionally when I pester him too much about how much I want his Lumia 1020. This picture was a result of one such time about a year ago. I took his 1020 for about a week, and he took my good old (and beautiful) Lumia 800 (now replaced by a Lumia 630).

I woke up early that morning, excited to put that camera to some good use. My mother had kept some fennel seeds on the terrace to let them dry under the sun. This picture of those seeds is among the set of the best pictures I have ever taken. The contrast is perfect, and so is the detail. The picture is made even more beautiful with the black and white effect.

This was taken on Lumia 1020 in Helsinki on a sunny Sunday morning. Everyone knows the boys of the facade of the Railway Station. The original colours are very soft and the picture taken with automatic settings. I added some drama and grain by editing the image on the phone with Fantasia Painter simulated HDR mask (75% coverage) and then converted the image to black and white with Nokia Creative Studio. I increased vibrance by +30, added shadows -30, reduced light -40, increased clarity +20 and reduced colour temperature -15.

Unfortunately, doing this on the phone reduces the image quality, but it does make a decent shot.

After a sleepless night I decided to go for a walk and take some pictures of the Ob river from Oktyabrskiy bridge in Novosibirsk, here's the best one I've taken

Victorian Cop taken with a Lumia 920, transformed to Monochrome via Instagram.

This guy is an extra in the 3rd series of Ripper Street, set during the Victorian Era. The set behind him is the courtyard of Manchester Town Hall and is often transformed into full sets because of the Neo-Gothic architecture and many original features. It has been used in series like Ripper Streer, Peaky Blinders and Foyle's War and in films such as Frankenstien (Daniel Radcliffe) Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr) and The Iron Lady (Meryl Streep).
I am constantly surprised that I can walk around the sets and take photos and mingle with all the cast and crew.

Taken with my Lumia 822 with the stock Camera App, made B&W in Creative Studio...I think. Either that or GIMP on my PC.

Took this photo of my cat last year lounging under the covers on the new bed (my gf and I had just moved in together and her bed was bigger and more comfy). I had only had the phone for a couple months but hadn't played around with the camera too much...just saw him laying like that and took one shot...and ended up taking one of my favorite pics ever.

Great photos everyone! This photo was taken back in June of 2014 with my Nokia 1020 overlooking the Powder Point Bridge in Duxbury, MA. The bridge is a ~ 1/2 mile wooden structure connecting the mainland to the beach.

I shot the original photo in color and edited in with Lumia Creative Studio. I added a B&W strong filter and increased the clarity. I loved the original photograph with the dull hues of the sunset and the rippling of the water but when I added B&W filter to the picture, it seemed to make the shadows stand out so much more.

This photo of a caterpillar's backside was taken during a walk around my apartment using my Lumia 1020 and edited in Adobe Photoshop Express for Windows Phone. My favorite part of the photo is the wrinkles in the bug's skin.
