Ahhh...Black and White Film
There's just something beautiful about black and white photography with actual film. I think its the purest form of photography in this all-digital age. Black and White is hard as heck to do correctly and not have washed out gray photos - could be the gray subject, the gray day, the gray shadows - but when you find a happy medium of contrast for everything - Black and White can be absolutely jaw-droppingly brilliant!I pulled out my Dad's trusty old Minolta SLR a few weeks back because I felt I needed to shoot some real black and white film. Last time I'd shot a good roll of B/W was in college photography class. (um... yeah... that'd be about 10 years ago). I gave it a whirl - with my pooch as the relaxed model, a bit of late afternoon light and a few guessed f-stops. The results were not too shabby - here are some of my fav's:
If you're in a Black and White mood Unclaimed Mysteries has some really phenomenal B&W infrared photography. And then Realms of Reality just added some Black and White recently!

I love these!
How did you manage to get her to sit still for photo's ? The photo's look really good. We miss getting to take her for walks.

We were just enjoying the the pretty afternoon together. I sat down in the grass and she just wandered over and sat down to hang out next to me. It was as easy as that.
Wow, you can sit in the grass this time of year !! If you were here you would be getting just a bit of a chill. We just had ice crystals hitting the windows an hour ago.
