Contrast in Photos

If you are reading this, you have probably heard people moaning about lack of contrast in one of your pictures. I am sorry about that, but " really " it is one of the most annoying things in the world. The medium of photography allows you to enhance the way you see the world, so you have an option of showing what you would like to show better. When the option is there - why not use it?
This is the picture we'll be working with for now. I know it isn't exactly the best picture in the world, but at least it is bland - it is nothing short of boring. Why? Well - mainly because nothing is the way it should be.
I believe that, in photography, black should be black. White should be white. In most cases, there is no real excuse for having almost-white and almost-black as the darkest and lightest point of your photograph (unless it is part of a photographic effect, in which case this all doesn't apply.)

A very nice tutorial to get the most out of your pictures regarding contrast can be found here:
