I did go out shooting yesterday. I started warming up my camera and lenses at 5:30, and by time I was ready at 8:30, all was well. No fogging, and I finished off the roll of film. Wanted to shoot some b&w as well, but that camera was at home…in the cool, dry house. (Kicking and screaming, Marc! No digital!) So this morning I’ve been warming up the camera and lens again for some b&w nature shots. It’s not quite as warm as yesterday, but the humidity is still thick and stifling.
Thought I’d better post some of these summertime daisy shots I took in June before Fall arrives. I ordered another roll of this film, I just love the grain, and at ISO 3200, I should even be able to capture a couple of portraits of my wiggly boys!

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Steaks off the grill, boy can you grill a steak!!
I love the grain too on this sweet shot.
have a nice week end ;)
really nice shot, love the contrasty b&w tones and the graininess. Excellent!
Nice shot, love the old feel to it! Impressive at ISO 3200
I don't know why, but I just had a good laugh at this photo. I guess that must have been the toes positioned next to the flowers ... it was quite unexpected.
I know what you are talking about with fog. I had an incident myself this morning. I'd been using the lens for about 45 minutes and sunddenly, it started fogging up on the front element. I think as the temperature started rising in the woods, things started to condense.
I think that the humidity was about 100% when I went out this morning. Also, different parts of the woods seem to vary in temperature by about 5 degrees or so and I moved from a warm part, near the lake, to a cool part.
The contrast are just perfect. And I love the composition.
Lovely shot. The grain and composition are wonderful.
Really nice shot. I love this image.
Beautiful image! Micki I admire you for being so adament about using film. My first roll of b/w with the holga was a total flop and it was like throwing money in the garbage. There is something to be said for that delete button....
Micki, I just came back for one more round. The image is quite lovely and very sentimental.

i love this shot:-)) nice bw contrast. i like the composition and the way u frame the subject...emotional image:-))
Lovely old feel, the grain works well. Have a great weekend!
It has a sort of old movie type feel....for reasons unknown to me i felt absolutely moved when i saw this shot and i immediately thought of a funeral..8/10 from me and for reasons even i dont know...ive bookmarked you on my new photoblog, i hope ull come and visit....its at http://buzz9.wordpress.com

Very creative. Pretty. It feels like a summer day so many years ago just hanging out and drinking lemonade on the porch.

Beautiful delicate shot!
This really is a great B&W shot Micki! I love it...the flower brightness (Whiteness?) is amazing!

Perfectly timeless, and the tones are simply gorgeous.

I really love this one. It's really a special shot. The 3200 film added a lot to this.
