great photos!

[Derrick]

very nice pictures. I really like the first one. Did you use a filter for that or photoshop?

[Big Mike]

Thanks,
No PS work done. That was shot with a polarizing filter and B&W film.

Very nice Mike - dramatic images - thanks for sharing. Are these taken with SLR or a digital camera?

[Big Mike]

Thanks Mary,
I shoot with an SLR film camera. I'd like to get a digital SLR but that's out of my price range for a while.

Very nice shots, Mike. I especially like the sunset one.

Great shots, Mike. The first one is oddly compelling...

Very awesome photography, you have a great eye. My favourite is a toss up between the beardie and the sunset. :)

Nice work Mike! Any other photographers in you family? How did you learn your craft?

[Mike177]

NICE!! i love black and white photography!!! im pretty new to it but i really think its much better than color in some ways. what kind of B&W film do u use?? and do u do the lab work ur self?

[Big Mike]

Thanks again...

Tim,
My uncle was into it for a while but I have never even talked to him about photography. It's just something I always liked and recently started applying myself. It's just a hobby but I'd like to make some money...some day.

Mike,
I like B&W too. You really have to learn to see things differently to get good B&W photos. I'm still learning. I have been trying different kinds of film from basic Kodak C-41 up to the real stuff. I don't do the developing myself and don't plan too. I'd rather put the money toward a good digital SLR and then work in a "digital darkroom"

[Mike177]

ya, things seem to be going twards digital now a days and one day dark rooms will be out dated, but i still like em'! i have found that the C-41 B&W film is much more convinent that others, i shoot useing Illford XP2 witch is also C-41, i would not suggest this film because it makes ur pics come out with a very diffrent kind of B&W and it ends up looking more brown and maroon, lol but when u do ur own developing it comes out looking good. i also like the convince of computers, have u looked into any negative scanners??? thats next on my list, keep up the good work and post some more B&W stuff ;)
