i'm suprised no one commented yet.

Great shots & great sounding captions although they struggle to match sometimes. Slightly lacking is an extra dose of post-processing. Personally, I would not be afraid to overdo post-processing on these pics.

Hi!

Many thanks for your comment!Really appreciated it a lot.. =) My English is limited so thats why there's always some problems with the caption.LoL!
Anyway,i am just a noob and there are still plenty of stuff i need to improve and learn. =) Comment like yours is really what i wanted. =)
Thank u very much!


Anyway,here are some new photos i uploaded today.. =) hope to get more comment soon...

Oh ya btw,u might check out my b&w photoblog HERE. =)

Photos are taken outside Pudu jail.







Random photos.

yr photos are different compare to others. From there, i can see u r paying efforts and think before every clicks of photos. I like yr style, man !

i love your second pic! A touch of irony but realism

I am inspired by your picture because your series is totally different from the usual ones we see here. A good change from the norm. Keep it up mate!

awesome
great shots
wut more can i say~!

those pics give me nostalgic feelings
u did great~

Thanks mate!Anyway,not to say i am paying any big effort,just that i have this special passion for black and white photo.I just like them so much! =)
I visited your gallery before and u did have lotsa great photo!
Normally what do u like to shoot?

Haha!U get it man!I saw your Hong Kong photos and they are perfectly taken! =)

I am not a pro so i have to do something different..haha!I went to your thread and your composition is nice mate! =)

thank u thank u...hehe.U also photography kaki?



Anway,will have some new photo added later. =) Come back aite!hehe

A question from a noob.
Does it need special lense to make the picture look like yours.
I mean how the white area fill with grey dots.

The temple shot, bicycle shot, cat shot and the jail shot is like perfect for me.
I need to find something to read on this B&W thingy, you open a new door for me.
Care to give some dummy guide?

Hi v3i! =)

I am a noob too! =D

Nope,i did not use any filter to make the noise(grey dots).What i usually do is to use PS to add the noise.
All thanks to the ability of PS.What i can suggest u is to play with the PS a lot.I mean really a lot.FYI,i am a PS noob.Hehe.
The things i always play with PS for my bnw photo is the brightness,contrast,curve and saturation. =)

Hopefully my informations can help u a bit or more.Hehe.. =)
Do let me know is u still have any queries aite.

Thanks for visiting my thread. i m still a noob so i take whatever that i feel nice digital age ma .. tak suka delete only .. haha

haha!very true indeed! =) where u staying mate?

Anyway,here are 2 photos for today. =)


My dirty little secret.



The above photo was taken at Nine Emperor God Festival (Kow Wong Yeh).When i saw this incident,i rushed to the scene with my camera.My heart was filled with excitement and as the fire burning,my finger can't stop hitting the shutter.
Honestly,i was hoping the fire will spread faster and bigger.I felt the heat,i heard the scream,i captured the moment and i enjoyed it.



The excitement is gone when the people united.The sound of applause woke me up from my evil fantasy.

My heart had taken over my brain for that moment.


Curse me!

i love the grain definitely, very movie-ish, however i do feel they're lacking abit of "punch". Also the last pic is kind of overdone.

Hello!Thanks a lot for ur comment. =) but hmm,do do u mean by lacking a bit of "punch" ya?sorry cuz i am a noob here...hehe
