Summer sweets | Shimmering Grains

Summer sweets

You may wonder why I photograph this kind of images in black and white, when they could have been so much more intense in colour? Well, I think that black and white leave so much more to our imagination. My intention is to create a feeling, not so much an image.

Sound strange? Yeah, it possibly is…. But I do have a strong intention to take them further in my darkroom, and hopefully create some lith copies, I think they would look awesome in lith.

Until then, I hope you’ll enjoy them in plain black and white 🙂

Lovely photos. That Makro Planar is an incredible lens, I tried to prise one out of my friend’s hands. Wasn’t having any of it. Wonderful tone with the HP5 and DDX. What is the grain like?

  Yes, it’s an incredible lens, I love it. Well, that depends on if you like grains or not. I absolutely do love grains, so I love HP5+, but yes, you can see them… 😉

B&W picture is about Art. Colour usually take attention off the object, composition, light, and simply emotions. In talented made B&W pictures you can feel even colour.

  Yes, I totally agree with you, that’s kinda what I’m striving for, but it’s quite hard, maybe there’s why it’s so thrilling to use bw, and I feel I’ll never get enough….. 😉

So beautiful. No need for color! I really adore the first image. Ethereal and gives a feeling of otherworldliness.

    When I eventually settling down in one country I’ll set up a dark room. It’s become increasingly difficult to find a decent processor in Europe that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Digital suits my travels, but one day I’ll get back to my true love… Anon x

You most definitely captured a feeling – I love that idea so much – and these are really gorgeous shots. Theres something so fascinating about small details I find and you’ve caught that wonderfully.
