    We had a very retro b & w holiday this weekend, with our little time machine.

    Shot Allan.

    Reminded me of this wreck from 80s Waiheke. Scanned form colour slide, and all that that entails.

    There's some text and beautiful black and white photos from Marti Friedlander's book in the November issue of Metro.

    Cool. Always liked that photo. Nice to know you still have it. Might score a copy next time we're down. :-)

    I could send the file you know, it is the future after all. :)

    This is true. That would be most excellent. :-)

    Hey, I just found out I can now upload photos from my phone. Pretty sure I couldn't do that before. Awesome.

    First result with Lightzone.

    I'm still waiting for my approval.

    Great wrecks, Allan and Jackson.

  • Chris Waugh,

    And the Herald has gone (mostly) two tone with these combat photos by Horst Faas. Good work, although obviously a fairly disturbing topic.

    ETA: Got Lightzone. Now to juggle marking essays, washing the car, getting stuff to fix the wee one's basketball hoop, trying to capture some autumn light, and learning how Lightzone works. Good thing I've got no classes today or tomorrow morning.

    Fun eh? I like the way B/w transforms what could be a pretty colour scene into this photo that has a funereal solemnity.
    I'm finding that navigation is the main challenge with Lightzone; the operations are reasonably intuitive, as mentioned earlier in the thread. I now need to put some time in on understanding each function (in between everything).

    Fun eh?

    Yep, although I still need time to get my head around Lightzone. Actually, I’m now having fun using several different programmes for all the different tricks I can make each one do.

    And this thread has really turned me on to b/w. I never realised how much it can convey – funereal solemnity, yes, and much, much more. Particularly good for this time of year. I must do my best to scare my students this afternoon.

    This morning’s rising sun.

    Need a hand?

  • Gareth,

    If I may, I'll post links to two photographers - working almost exclusively in B&W - who were very influential when I was first working out how to take pictures. The first is Brian Shuel (collection of his portraits of folk musicians and actors at the National Portrait Gallery here). Brian is very much in the "compose it in the camera, don't crop", Cartier Bresson-ish camp, to the extent that his prints are always made with the now fashionable black border to prove they were uncropped. I learnt a lot from working with him, on and off, for a couple of years.

    The other is Irish photographer John Minihan. I got to know him in 79/80 when he was working on the Evening Standard, every inch the hard-bitten Fleet Street pro. He had a column in the photo weekly I was working on, and I ghosted it for him for many months. He'd send in a pic, then meet me in the pub to tell me what to say about it. Great fun.

    I still compose my pictures in the camera - most of the time. But when you haven't got time to do that, as Minihan would say, just get the bloody picture.

    Nice. This from Wellington, in the 80s.
