Post your B&W Film shots

Great!

The previous image that I posted here, from an old argus c-four camera loaded with Kentmere 400 was a bit flat, even though I liked it a lot. So, taking all of your comments into consideration, I did a little pp along the lines we have been discussing, and I am posting it here for your review. Constructive criticism and comments welcome.

The original is posted in post #1351 of this thread.

While on the subject of contrast, this shot I posted about six months ago but in a neutral gray tone and full tonal scale. Eventually I made a print but this is what I did to it. I crushed the blacks, added a heavy vignette and gave it a brown tone. I can't say that it looks better but worked where it hanging.

Well it sure looks good from where I'm sitting.

Lots of great shots posted in this thread recently.

I think this was shot at F9, 1/200, mid morning, blustery and cold.

Well I much prefer the Acros shot to the Kentmere one. The Acros shot looks fantastic. Sharp, clean, well exposed and just the right amount of contrast. The Kentmere shot looks grainy to me, perhaps underexposed?.... I don't know. I've never used Kentmere before and I don't feel inclined to do so. However I must get some more Acros in as I think I've only got one roll left in the fridge

Bucfan,

That processing looks much better to me than the original - more dramatic and more detail stands out.

I REALLY like your picture of the sailing ship with the Franka and Acros 100!

I had to go back and look at the first one. The difference is dramatic.

I don't know that I remember seeing the original, but this one works for me.

Dramatic in a good way I hope?

To your Delta 3200 experiment...Wow! I thought I might like to go to the dunes someday, but on second thought, I think I may get there and be disappointed that they don't look as spectacular in person as they do in your black and white photographs.

Thanks for the kind words!

Vendee, the Kentmere seems to be grainy by nature, sort of like HP5.

I seem to be seeing almost a moire effect particularly on the lower left of frame. Perhaps its from the scanner?

Oh yeah. I didn't notice. I have no idea but most likely from the sharpening. I applied it lightly though.

Wow. Stunning. I might have to try Delta 3200 at 1600 or 800.

I'm not usually one for the whole Toy Camera/Lomo thing, but when I first read about the new Lomo Belair I thought it looked pretty cool so I sent a link to my wife and to my surprise, her and my family ordered me one for my birthday. After waiting a month, it finally arrived last week and today I finished my first roll.

Here's my first 6x12 frame.

That's very impressive for a Lomo and 6x12 to boot!
