4, 6, and 7 are my faves....awesome contrast. They look so harsh and cold, in a good way. Nice composition on the switch shot, I think that's my top favorite. :thumbup:

How'd you get the grass to look so frosty and contrasty in the pumpkin shot?

darin3200 · Jan 8, 2006

Thanks!

The grass is still a bit of a mystery to me since there isn't much snow here and its not frosty, just really cold. I think the look of the grass is a result of the higher contrast.

love the 1st and the 6th pictures. the texture on the barn door is great. there's nothing better than good B&W

I love the shots you take in B&W the contrast is great! I love how you get those great levels.

james21: Thanks, color is good for some shots, but I always find myself going back to B&W

immski: Thanks. When I got these prints I was happy because the levels were already where I want them to be. It seems that the combo of the "color corrected" lens on the yashica, the ilford xp-2, and the 1-hour people who know me by name produce good results

I like the contrast in #5.

Are #5 & #8 the same :scratch:

Thanks. And yes, I screwed up copying and pasting, thanks for pointing that out so I could get it fixed.

#1 & #5 are my favs, good shots!

That cat shot is crazy, I really like #5. the curve of the road leads your eye to the dog and the high contrast adds to the shot. Nice series :thumbup:
