If the default one doesn't maybe you can find an app that does ?

But I like the stock app. I'll try other apps then. Though if applying a B/W filter with the stock photo editor is allowed, that would be really great.

unfortunately my phone also don't have black and white filter. But i will try from different phone.
Posted by hihihans
You can download an app now @ceaser2008
Black & White filters have always been legitimate to use, even afterwards on pc if that was your only way to do it.

What's that round thing, the sun? Why looks it so weird?

Changed mine to this shot. Yesterday we were up the Lickey hills over looking south Birmingham. It was dramatic and windy up there. Caught this atmospheric shot and in the distance to the left of the main tree is the figure of my brother
Posted by chunkybeats
Hey dextermoser it's actually a metal suspended sculpture. It's quite impressive. I was trying to make it an illusion with it being like the sun. This is what it looks like - http://www.sculpture.org.nz/engine/SID/10007/AID/1047.htm

I'm changing my photo to this one. It's of two bridges one for people and one for cattle in an old part of my town.

I love how the sun is is shining bright on the bridge to the left but the one on the right is shaded by the trees.

Thank you, but unfortunately I have since had to remove this file from the gallery, I will no longer be posting ANY images here - I hope it will count for this months contest but I guess that's up to the OP/Previous winner.

Thank you - required a b&w conversion after the fact seeing as the 1020 lacks that native ability but I'm still kind of happy with the result.

It was a great shot ...

Yes, it was.....
@mlife:
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you shouldn't let those 1-voters "win".

Can someone enlighten me (us?) what the "1 vote" thing is?
Posted by hihihans
1 vote:
In esato photo section you can click on the stars to rate the photo 1 to 10.
Some members like to vote some brands down by giving them a 1.
You can check the voting for photos you uploaded.
P.S. I will take mlife his pic into the voting round.

I like how it says HTC One has a 13 mp camera in the specs there
Posted by XperiaJunkie
^ In my store we often get the HTC rep coming in and she's adamant that the M8 with its ultra pixel camera has the equivalent of a 13 MP camera. She claims it has the equivalent of 3, 4.3 MP sensors stacked on top of each other and is capable of match top top end smartphone cameras especially in low light. It's clear she is being told to say by here bosses about criticism about the camera and this is their response. I find it funny to be honest when it's obvious the M8's biggest flaw is something they try to cover up.

Oh dear

I always admire your shots mlife. Please don't get upset by one voters. What matters most is the appreciations you get from other Esatonians. We just simply love your creativity.
Posted by tranced
Indeed! Don't get down by it.

I'll really try and participate in this month.
I just have to un-pause...
Posted by mlife
Thanks all for the kind words but I really want to stop giving any further attention to a matter which is obviously NEVER going to change so I will comment on that issue no further. I'm really excited to just get back to shooting and enjoying this monthly contest as it really is fun to see what everyone brings to the table. It also seems I my flickr entry will remain valid (thank you), so I am excited to be able to participate.
lets get back to shooting.

I've taken a lot of black and white photos this month though many are on Instagram 😃

Since my phone doesn't support black and white photography, here I have applied black and white effect via application from my phone. The original picture is uploaded to the photo section
