The latest from my venture into b&w film, hope you enjoy. I'm really glad that I got a film camera to carry along when I'm out with my digital equipment.

1) No. 75 - Hank, doing some work.

No. 75 - film 3 by Ron_Lane, on Flickr

2) The tracks, while we were waiting on No. 75

3) I took several of this building with my digital camera and wasn't pleased with any of them. Took one with film and I actually like it.

4) Inn and Wedding chapel.

nice. i like the first, the buildings seem cut off in some kind of strange p.o.v when you took it. something just not right there. i think it is great you are doing film too, bringing your photography to a little deeper depth and experience level? Excellent. separate yourself from the rest of us hacks....:lmao:
 
Well done, Ron! I love #1 and 2 and I really like the textures in #3 and 4.

Thanks. Still learning how to take good photos with film and finding out how hard it is that you can chimp with it. lol.

Thanks Leonore.
 
Some nice shots Ron, with b+w film if the scene is flat you can underexpose and overdevelope the negative, if the scene is contrasty overexpose and underdevelope
 
I think I gonna sound like broken record. Ron, you shoot film outdoor, get some yellow or orange filter and, if your camera is slr, get maybe a polarizer. Your sky will have much more "meat" in the pictures. :D

Thanks timor. I will have to find some filters.

Love that first one Ron; is that a little girl a Baldwin or an ALCO?

John, from wiki. Flagg Coal Company 75 is a 0-4-0 saddletank steam locomotive built for the Flagg Coal Company in 1930.
 
No problem John, that is actually a pretty cool story on there. I had never been that close to an old steam engine so I was getting a history lesson up close.
 
Great shots.......#2 the tracks......nice, that's the kind of shot that as you press the shutter button you just know, all is good.
 
Good stuff - happy to see you continuing the film journey! :)

Agree with timor about the filters - easy to find, and can be cheap too!
 
good job, track is special one)
