DMC-LX5 with LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON 1:2.0-3.3/5.1-19.2 ASPH Sample Photo 327118 By edster12

Talked my host to drive pass again, but the sky was not the same. :) Took a different kuil photo with a "cheque" background.

Thanks, elmarman. It was a snapshot as I was in a passing vehicle. :) Will try to get back to the kuil and re-take the photo with my LX5 set to B&W mode. :) The most "photoshopping" I normally do with my pics, are just tweak a bit of contrast and brighten/darken option I do using a simple freeware. :) The other "strong" photo processing software I have is GIMP, but I am generally :) too lazy to load GIMP unless I really have to. Helps me train myself to get the best shot. Hopefully, the sky is still nice when I get over the kuil.

Your colour photo is just a 'Record Photo' of building technique but the B&W version turns it into a much more 'Pictorial' image.
