Black and white detail

[J A Y M O R R]

Couple recent B&Ws from this week:

I love working with B&W and made it a main focus of mine last year and it will continue into this new year.

Good discussion on the black and whites. As a young curmudgeon, I’m stuck on film (I shoot lots of digital, just haven’t given up on film yet) as I’ve yet to find a black and white conversion in PS that I like – and to Zach’s point, it’s not so much the difference you see on the computer screen, but the difference you see once it’s printed.

I’m fortunate enough to have a lab in Minneapolis that processes black and white. And although I don’t have a darkroom any longer, I’ll still process much of it myself, as I can do everything in daylight (aside from rolling my film, obviously). The chemicals don’t take up much space, and the laundry room sink works perfect.

I attended the wedding of a friend this summer and relegated myself to shooting solely film just for the fun of it (I was not the hired photographer). The end result turned out fairly well, and it’s fun to limit the medium sometimes. It forces you to find your light creatively, because once that ISO 100 is in, you’re not going to be able to bump it to 1600 to get your next shot!

I think that’s what remains fun about film. You have to be able to evaluate the situation and roll with it!

Here’s one from this summer. Sorry for the garbage scan.

Beautiful shot Jacob, you certainly nailed the decisive moment with this image.
