This first photo was taken last month during the Golden Week in Kinshicho Park. After converting it to black and white, I thought it would add to the dramatic effect by adding a sepia feel. I adjusted the color balance and added more yellow and red. I felt it would also benefit a more vintage look, so I added a vignette effect by darkening the borders a bit.
This next photo was taken about a year ago in Odaiba, when a life-size Gundam Robot was on display for Gundam's 30th anniversary. I liked this photo even before, especially how the sun's reflection on the robot's body combined with the angle and framing created some sort of savior effect - exactly what Gundam is portrayed as and is supposed to be. But the colors were so washed out because of the sun and bright sky that I never bothered to publish it. Converting it to black and white somehow salvaged the photo and now I have a photo worth publishing.
