Again I am using a manual mode on this one .. very low lighting. I opted for black and white using Picasa 3 and wee help from GIMP to tweak the contrast. I also made it a a bit grainy to add to the mood ... a sombre cold winter day after x'mas when there was not much happening in London.
Using a bit of glow on this one to capture the mood after the friday prayer ...
This is from a set of pictures that I have taken on the Boxing day 2008. In fact my first attempt in outside photograpy using my new DSLR Nikon D60. A bit confused at first on what to do with all those dial and buttons on Nikon but I did have a go at manual suing RAW format for later editing. I don't believe in spending lots of money on photo-editing (as I can't afford it myself !!) so I resorted to using Picasa 3 and GIMP to do the job .. and I am quite happy .. not bad for the first timer !!
