This is a new black and white filter I made. The default one is too bright for my tastes.

I sometimes make my own filters. I used my own black and white filter for this photo. It's a little darker and contrasty than the default black and white filter.

If you like it, I posted the code for it, here, with some help on how to use it:

Except for me, posing, this was a totally random photo. I think it's a lucky capture.

This is also a new black and white, snapshot filter I'm working on.

The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It breeds in woodland and scrub in northern Europe and across the Palearctic. It is strongly migratory, with many northern birds moving south during the winter. It is a very rare breeder in the British Isles, but winters in large numbers in the United Kingdom, Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
