After many a comment about how i do b&w photography on others threads, i have finnaly decided to post some of my best, and more recent work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comparison

 

 

 

 

 

 

I won an award for this photo, and it is in the school callendar which is distributed freely to the 1500 students at my school :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is my personal favourite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mucking around with macro, i shot a whole role of film in my backyard, which isn't that big, focusing on flowers and textures, contrast is very important.

This photo was taken at the steps going down to the wharf at my school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bridge i have to cross everyday to get to the school and the main part of sydney. Once of my favourites, i wonder if anyone knows where/what it's called...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Treelogy (pronouced trilogy (and consisting of 2 photo's.... at the moment))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grassmere Fig

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first photo in the treelogy, taken at a friends farm. It is a fig tree, and the property is called grassmere, hence the name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twist!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taken on the foreshore of my school. part 2 of the treelogy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of the photo's were scanned in, except the last two which are currently in poster size and hanging in the family room and had to be photographed, hence the horrble quality and light reflection (no i did not use the flash). When or where i am going to find the 3rd tree i don't know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I leave you with a very cool photo. I took it with my new digital camera (pentax optio w10) which is waterproof. The photo was taken in my friends spa. Looks like ice doesn't it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, feel free to make manips of these photo's, but make sure you post em here and credit me if you use as a sig, thx.

Very nice photos there, I like the one with the road/steps most.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a whole role of film

 

 

 

So you still use the old way of photography, when you make black and white photos?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, after this topic i feel like photographing black and white :)

 

 

 

(If that worthless weather stops :x )

I like the horse one most too, the water 1 is interesting tho, dont see many pictures of water bubbling at that intensity :

you go to school in a very beautiful area it seems, and you captured it well..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mind I ask what camera/lenses you used for the B&W's?

LP i use my dad's old Nikon F-601 with a Nkon 35-105mm lense. It's a good camera, got many manual functions. Thanks for the comments everyone, yes Woop i still use a darkroom for my photo's, it's fun. Much better then getting a machine to do it for you, but with colour photography that is the only way. It's great seeing your pictures sort of disolve onto the paper when you put it in the developer, if you havn't tried it you must.
