20 Comments:
Camera - Minolta Maxxum 9000
Film - Kodak TMax 3200
Shutter Speed - 1/2000
Aperture Setting - f-8 Aperture Mode
Lens - Sigma 105mm portrait/macro lens
Scanning Method - My scan from my cheap little hp officejet 5510v all-in-one copy/scanner/faxer/printer
Again, the scan does not do this print justice. If you have a film camera left in the closet somewhere, get a roll of this film and go out shooting. You won’t be disappointed.
First things first, in regards to yesterday’s beetle photo. I did not chill the little critter. I’m trying not to do that any more, and I really don’t have to at this time of year. If I do ever chill again, I will let you know. I did move him to the picnic table to shoot him though. He was heading under ground when I found him, so I had to put him someplace where I could shoot. After I was done with our photo session, I put him back. And no, I don’t like beetles. They don’t particularly creep me out, but I don’t like them. I am the official bug squisher in the house, though. When there’s a big creepy crawly that needs killed late at night, the girls will wake me up. I do use my husband’s shoe to do the dirty work. :o)
Well, I am posting another grainy b&w shot this Friday because I’m really into the b&w and grain right now. I’m in the middle of shooting another roll of TMax 3200. Each shot carefully planned as the cost of the development won’t be cheap.
This photo is from the first roll I shot earlier this spring.
I think this is neat! the beautiful of the flowers, mixed the the every day electric box! lovely contrast! :-)
I have a deal with the bugs around here, if they stay out side I leave them alone! if they come in my house I set one of the cats or the guys after them! LOL
Wonderful. That photo rather constructed. That is not single to know how to see but to know how to create. Greetings!
thats just great...lighting is bang on...8/10
Interesting choice of subject. I like the quirkyness of it.
I like this combination, very interesting.
oooo very nice feeling looking at this photo, since winter has just arrived (suddenly) in my place... :)
I like the whimsy in this shot. It truly is an odd combo but that's what makes it.
As you can probably tell I love black and white, and this is stunning.
I'm beginning to think that your signature Micki is the **daisy shot**

Great b&w work! Lovely scene.
I gotta get me some of that film!
This is very interesting, and black and white works quite well here. I particularly like the depth of field, as well as the small object in the foreground that adds perspective.

i really like the simplicity of this picture. It truly brings out the delicacy of the flowers.
Love the grain imege. nice capture Micki.
Have a nice weekend ! :)
Interesting combination. I bet it would have been interesting in colour too.
I really like the grain of high speed film. I miss that.
Love the grain, superb shot!
Decorating the meter with flowers, what a wonderful touch.
Micki, I absolutely love the tones in this image. It's beautiful in black and white. Also, I really like the hint of texture in the wood. Great shot.
Lovely, lovely contrast here - both in image character and subject. A perfect choice for 3200.
