b&w

Ok, bear with me while I do some explaining. The process I followed was to set the Fuji to "Acros+R filter" and the Ricoh to "HiBw" for shooting. There was no exposure compensation set, ISO was set similarly to auto on both cameras and metering set to spot. I didn't move between each shot...

If you were to look for a compact camera with the idea that you mainly want to shoot in B&W, what camera would you look into? That is basically where I am right now. I am on the very, very front end of searching for a new-to-me camera. I want something that would be easy to have as an everyday...

First outing with film in 20+ years. The camera is an Asahi Pentax "AP," which you can read about elsewhere. I bought it to get the lens that was attached. The lens appears to have some issues, but the camera doesn't. Image was only corrected for exposure and contrast. Ilford HP5 Plus...

…into someone's photoshoot – so may I call it à la sauvette ? With 7art 50mm 1:0,95

I hardly pulled my camera out the first 9 months of the year, but shot quite a bit the last 3 months of 2023. Here's a few B&Ws I thought might have some merit, and hope to shoot more next year. Thank you. stairs power workers Lenny knobs cattails seaplane

Contaflex, Ilford Pan 400, Ilfosol-3, Adofix,

The talk of Pentax K3 III Monochrome, as well as developing and scanning some more B&W film (which was rather disappointing, my method with Rodinal didn't suit Kentmere 400 very well, especially in lighting where the LC-A was consistently picking a wide, and therefore soft, aperture value) got...

Hi all. I'm new here and just really getting started having developed a love of Black & White photography during my workshop sessions at Uni. I've had some experience with making a pinhole camera and am just looking to buy a Holga 120mm and a Canon Canonet QL17 GIII. So any advise you can...

I almost always use an Orange or Red filter with my M Monochrom. I like Polaroid 600 film, and buy about 1 B&W for every 2 Color. Original SX-70 cameras will overexpose 600 film by 2 Stops. And Orange filter requires 2 Stops of compensation, a Red filter requires 3 Stops. Brain-Fart. The...

Got out and had a chance to use the Duochrome Yellow today. Before that, I needed to unload the B&W film pack in the SX-70. Eastlawn Cemetery and WatLao Buddhist Temple Columbus, OH Scans are not as sharp as the actual prints. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

I have a nice Canon EOS650 fitted with a 35 -80mm zoom. It takes really nice images. I do the processing myself and then scan them at 4800dpi using my Canon 3000f flatbed scanner. I have just processed two rolls of film and are very disappointed. This one of my previous images take a few weeks...

I've seen a lot of photos and comments on Ultrafine Extreme, but almost nothing on the Finesse. It seems mostly well received. Has anyone used it? Love it? Hate it? I'm looking for something less expensive to bulk load, develop learn with. TIA!

I usually shoot color pictures. Do you use the B&W mode (if your camera has one) or do you change the exposure to B&W in a post processing program? Just curious as I had changed one exposure I made using my software program and a lot of people thought it was a really nice image. I'm wondering...

Had a shot today that I posted in B&W and I do think it's a very good composition. The question I'm having is between the B&W version vs the same image in color. Thoughts? At this time of year, there isn't all that much color out there; it can make what there is stand out. And yet, the...

Since I've been taking a lot more pictures than I imagined and don't want to clutter up other threads I thought I would start a separate one for those who are interested, or who happen to have more pictures to add. Here are a few more of some murals I came aross.

I was conflicted about he processing of my post in Day-to-Day today, so I thought I would solicit opinions. While walking around this morning, I saw this sole red flower at the feet of the Statue of St. Francis, so I used the selective color filter to isolate it: I refer to this as St Francis...

Puttering with Capture One Nikon.

So got done at work last evening and there was still a bit of light. Now I’ve spent a little time playing with the files in Capture One. Which of these variations do you prefer? Or perhaps the better question is why? The B&W seems boring somehow and I'm not sure how come. The color and light...

The challenge starts today and ends on Saturday, March 7, 2020. This challenge's theme is Monochrome. That means various shades of a single color. It includes Black & White (shades of gray), but could be shades of any color you want, just not multiple colors ("mono" means one, afterall). The...
