Wow, you still use 35mm then...rather than digital/photoshop
I guess getting any more depth of field was near on impossible for the second and third shots? I'd almost be tempted to crop to a frame without any of the blur...but then I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve really. All the photos are interesting, I like the last one because you have to look a few times at it before you get it all in.
You've done well with the light on the second shot too, taking a pic up the length of a tree with all that daylight above can be really tricky, good white balance I think...maybe a little too much exposure on the first shot though? For me it would have been nice to see the textures of the palm too...
I wouldn't know where to begin with a 35mm SLR and film development these days, I am so used to a DSLR and it's handy white balance/exposure functions, cheating I know
I don't really like using photoshop, but for 3 of my 4 boards for my coursework, I have to use it for my idea D: I would've loved to have gotten more DOF in the second one, but in the third I actually quite like how it's only a small part of the cement block & grass that is sharp, but yeah, I suppose I could've cropped out a little.
Yeah, I do think that I did slightly over-expose the first picture, but I do also think that it helps with the contrast of the ladybug
Ah, that's alright, but yeah, it is quite difficult getting the white balance/exposure just right ^^
Do any of us do black n White?
If I think a photo of mine will look better in black n White I'll open the channel mixer click mono, and see what I can do with the rgb channels.
So in a sense, yes some pics end up black n White, but no. I don't go out specifically to take BnW.
Well, by black and white I meant more to do with films, not settings on a digital camera to make the photo black and white
Nice to see someone still doing this and keeping the craft alive. I did Photojournalism years ago at college, loved the photography, hated the journalism, was always "getting sent out of class" and along to the art dept lol, do you do your own printing ? , always loved that feeling of watching the image slowly appear in the development trays, something magical, very nice pics. Keep going , it's a rewarding hobby/art.
Oh yeah, it's quite a popular subject in my school, but there is so much work to do D: Yeah, we develop our own films, and print our own pictures. It really is such a rewarding feeling seeing that picture turn up :3 Thank you, and I will ^^
Like Chris I will take a pic in the normal DSLR way. If I think it will look better in B&W I'll mess with the colouration/saturation/exposure in a RAW format before converting to jpg...gotta love DSLRs!
Doing what you've done with film is much harder and you've done a good job I think!
Have you used DSLRs too?
Thank you. I don't think I've used a DSLR before. I prefer my good ol' film camera. But I will have to use a digital camera later on in my schoolwork this year, and I'm not sure about the one my mum has.
Wow, you still use 35mm then...rather than digital/photoshop

all taken on B&W 120 film with a rather sexy Mamiya twin or single lens camera (i have a 645 but i dont think these pictures were taken with it, was a long time a go now)
I actually use Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film. I only use my SLR camera :3 I love your photo's by the way <3
thanks
we had to play around with light and shadows.
i love 120 film. I like the square negatives, and love the cameras
Yeah, for the coursework I'm doing now, I have to take pictures of buildings and stuff, quite simple but then at the same time, very difficult to get odd angles and reflections.
