Thoughts about B/W photo

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

After Kodak T100Max I understood, that I don’t want to take pictures in B/W anymore. This collection and next one (ILFORD) would be the last in my current experiments.

These photos looks flat, empty, unreal. I don’t like it, because I returned back to film not for photographing reality – I want tot capture my feelings of the moment. B/W film capture nothing but shape and shadows

Everything is out of focus, but I like this photo. I haven’t shot on film for over 16 years, so I don’t think experiments and searching the style should be condemned in this case. Ç’mon, I’m still getting used to the camera :)
