Yup, here are a few pictures I've been taking today and 2 days ago I think

I'm an amateur, still experimenting ^^ and I got no good gear, seriously, I got a normal digital camera ><



I have one question, how do I do when I'm editing the pictures so the thing that's in focus on the picture is in color, and the rest B/W? Thanks

What you want to do only works if the background doesn't have any of the same color in it as the foreground. What you do is that you just edit the saturation of each color and desaturated the ones needed.

Before somebody corrects me, you can ofcourse still do it if there's color in the background it's just that you'd have to do it manually with a mask tool which takes time and effort and often doesn't yield too great results unless you are precise.
