Now I'm addicted to B&W (56k beware)

[voodoocat]

Went out and shot my 2nd roll of B&W film. Per recommendation of many members on this board, I tried HP5. The developer is Rodinal and I did it all myself When I fixed it I used 1+9 which I found out later is the solution used for printing. It took 15 minutes to fix. Out of 26 frames, only 2 weren't worth even scanning. I'm pretty happy with all of them but here are 14 of them. Obviously I'm not going to get a serious critique on all 14, but which ones do you like? and why? Thanks

Looking good. I liked the nineth one the best.

15 mins to fix????? OMG! in the school darkroom, we use ilford products and it takes 3 mins to fix! because we have a b/w darkroom, they r the only photo's i really take. ur compositions r great, i especially like the angle u have approached the subject in the 8th pic. try using filters in the darkroom to create more contrast between b/w, they r simple to use and really effective. :thumbsup:

Thank you for your comments

None of these were actually printed. These are scans directly from the negative. The digital darkroom

I really liked the Fire Hydrant, and the angle you use to photo the left side of the train looking towards its front.

I'm not counting, but I just loved the one entitled go. I think it's the same one Dew liked. Fabulous.

I like the wheel, light and fire hydrant
The wheel seems a little grainy but sharp at the time to me
:scratch:

Off course I like the fire hydrant (see nickname) but I think #9 was still the best.

Ahhhh you have discovered why people like this sort of grain!

I gotta go with number 8 here. I really like the low angle.

Nice shots, I like them all. My favorite is no. 8

My fav's are 1, 2, and 3. They look really aged and really cool. For some reason number 1 made me think of Charlie Chaplan....not sure why.
