A monument to poor contrast

[John Parry]

I'm mystified by, and attracted to B&W film. These are two samples from the latest (with the 230AF).

The first should have had a totally black foreground, with the fells standing out in their glory.




This one I am delighted with for getting the gull even partly focussed in flight, but again the contrast let me down.



OK, in future - strong light, harsh shadows, foxy ladies, dedicated B&W camera.

Or maybe I'll just try some more of these before I move on to the fun stuff!

Regards - John

I can't find a lab to develop my B&W.

Randy,

Why not try C41 black & white film. It's the greatest thing since ----- well ----- black & white film.
