Lately when I've been out and about taking pics on my phone (mainly landscapes) I've found black and white images are for more interesting, with a little grain added for mood. I'm what you'd call an enthusiast when it comes to taking pictures, but what do you prefer, colour photos or black and white? |

if your taking pictures of landscapes why wouldn't you want to capture the vibrance and beauty of the abundance of colours (assuming you are taking pics in the countryside of course).
I prefer colour to black and white, some portraits look nice in black and white  |

If you seen the landscapes you'd understand why black and white |

Black and white does have a certain feel to it, wedding photos are best done in black and white well one or two.
I have not picked up a camera in years, I like taking wildlife, motorcycling, landscape basically any type of pictures really. |

I would have thought along the dock road and crosby, there are some goid places to take photos. Plus you have the industrial areas being renovated all over Liverpool. |

Try getting a better camera App (I use 'A Better Camera' for Android, I'm sure there are iPhone equivalents) and get a couple of Neutral Density filters and a Circular Polariser filter (you can hold them in from of the camera lens if you don't want to shell out for an adapter).
Non-stock camera apps will often let you play with exposure settings and such like in more detail than the stock app will.
The ND filters will allow you to tone down the exposure in bright landscapes and achieve more moody effects in colour, whilst the CP filter is a boon when you have reflected sunlight in a landscape shot (such as off a body of water).
Couple of ideas for you (and ND/CP filters are available on ebay for a few quid) |

I like Black and white landscaping too. Being from up north it capture the rolling landscape well plus lots of dry stone work and cobbles about.
Since OP is a cyclist some of Scott Mitchell's work for Sky is worth checking out. |
