I may have posted this one in the past, but when looking through my photos this morning I was struck by how wonderful real black and white film looks and how, try as I might, I just don't quite seem to be able to replicate that look by converting from digital. Can anybody explain to me what the magic of black and white film is? And have you had any success getting your digital to get that same look? If so, please let me know how, I am sure there must be others out there wanting the same answers!
Nikon F801s, Nikkor 50mm f1.8D, Ilford XP2 Super, polarising filter to get rid of reflections, 5 second exposure on a tripod, developed in C41 by my local lab, scanned on a CanoScan 5600F, edited in the GIMP.
wonderfull indeed! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, love the exposure and contrasts!
ReplyDeleteI'll give you quite right, that's just a uniquely beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteI think the technical differences in image capture will always mean that film and digital will look different. I'm redidicating myself to almost 100% Black and White. Now let's see if my husband actually finishes my darkroom by Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo; black & white can be so strong. Also like your pictures of the girl in b&w and the lonely road in the flat landscape. I haven't seen much yet of your blog, but I will come back.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this picture. the texture is amazing that you got to water.
