Black and White Film

After trialing film photography with standard colour film, I have now used black and white film as it often provides a unique atmosphere to a landscape. I have really enjoyed the results of this photo-shoot due to the lines across the images particularly in this portrait image where I feel it adds character and age.It is almost as if this image is part of an old film. I have also been very impressed with it's ability to deal with direct sunlight, producing results nearly impossible to capture on a digital camera.

Film Experiment

When looking at different artists and their take on nature photography, I decided to look into analog photography as the results can be so varied and provide a different perspective into a scene. There are also many who would argue that film still conquers digital in many aspects of photography such as for use in natural light as it is more forgiving when it comes to overexposure and can produce more effective highlights. 

This photo and the photos above were taken using standard 35 mm colour film. I am pleased with many of the results from this roll as they showed me how well film can capture natural colours with a relatively high dynamic range. I also like how film manages to avoid overloading to white in the bright sections of an image, providing a more realistic result than digital photography. This was my favourite photo from the group because of the colour palette displayed across the image and how the water creates a line cutting the image into two sections.
