A black and white image of Arirtolochia ringens

[tsp kumar]

Dear Garg sir,

I apologize for not being active on this site for a considerably long period of time ,so long that I could not figure out how to upload a subject.I have been rendered hors de combat post retirement on account of lack of oppurtunities to go to field and also on account of ill-health.However, of late I have developed a facination towards black and white conversions of images that I took over a period of time. I fancied to contribute a few black and white images to this forum.I understand that they hold no value taxonomically  since the natural colors have been stripped off and offer very little in terms of building a database of the flora.Nevertheless I presume that they offer a sense of timelessness.I do understand that the purists do not agree. May I submit a black-n-white version of the images that I have already uploaded so far,limiting to only one image per species.I think it gives a very different perspective.I do admit that the images represent only the luminosity values of a particular color and not the color itself. As an example I am uploading an image of Aristolochia ringens,the Dutchman's pipe.I assure you that I will not spam the site

thanks and regards

tspkumar

Thanks a lot, TSP ji, for coming back. eFloraofindia is not for taxonomy but also a depository of all sorts of artistic forms on plants, which members may like to send. It adds value to the site.

So pl. send as many black and white images as possible.

I would try to put thumbnails of them on the website, to show a different perspective.

Beautiful

Appreciating the beauty of nature is much more important than rote learning.

Unfortunately our students do badly  because our teachers teach them solely with the aim of passing exams. They obtain 99 percentile rank while remaining strangers to the subject.
