Black and White Photography

Black &White photography has become so popular on Instagram lately. I was not a fan of B&W photography before, but now I decided to join the band wagon :). I started posting B&W photos about 2 weeks ago in my Instagram and most of my B&W photos got featured, yay! One thing I learned about posting B&W photos is that the photo should be simple (less is more), must have a story behind it,  and most of all, it must be creative. B&W photography requires a lot of creativity. There are a lot of professional photographers on Instagram,  it's hard to compete with them. I am not a professional photographer. I'm just another amateur photographer who enjoys taking photos and I'm doing this for fun. I don't get monetary reward here, only sense of accomplishment :).

Here are my B&W photos that were featured on Instagram. The first 6 are solo features.

This is the famous Kintai bridge in Hiroshima Japan. We passed by this bridge on our way to Hiroshima. This bridge was featured five times.

This is my favorite photo, with my daughter as the subject. This photo was taken in Boracay last December.  




Here's another favorite of mine, my lovely flowers in black and white. 


Here's a happy pictorial of a lovely couple :). 


These are my non-solo features, sharing the square with other featured artists.

MIA :)

I realized that I have not posted in my blog for a month now. I got addicted to Instagram lately, joining different photo challenges :). IG is addicting and I'm really having fun on Instagram. I am not active on Facebook lately. I am enjoying Instagram more than Facebook now. I have more interactions with my IG friends than on FB.

I love taking pictures and I find fulfillment every time I win a photo challenge. Photography is my passion and Instagram is the best social networking site for photo lovers like me. Hooray to Instagram!!!
