Dee Why & Alex

Last Saturday, Alex's playgroup had a birthday party for all the tackers turning 1 (of which Alex was one).

If you recall, Saturday exhibited some pretty dicey weather, including threats of storm, very choppy seas. I tried to capture this weather with the first two, however, I didn't quite capture the mood - perhaps I need some filters (yellow and red, perhaps).

and two of Alex playing...

These images are basically straight out of the camera (into the tank, via the scanner place and then into Bridge for a bit of sharpening). :) Film was FP4, developing was normal + 10%. I think I love this film.

C&C appreciated

No, saving up for the Epson V700 flatbed, but these were scanned at a lab in Brooky. :D

Nice pics, I have been meaning to get some red filters to play with, with my F80. The filters really made a difference!!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I really like the tonality of good B&W film. Even with a similar B&W digital conversion, I couldn't get the same kind of effect. Of course, it helps to get the exposure right. :)

Geez, Alex is growing fast. :)

Love the FP4, it's my favourite film for portraits. Such nice tones.
