I dusted off the Canon recently (for Christmas) and started snapping a few shots. When I was shooting with film/slides, I liked to have a roll of B&W handy for certain situations. One nice thing about B&W is that you don’t have to care about AWB and I think B&W in certain shots just gives a different perspective or “feel” than the same shot in color. Anyways, it’s a lot more convenient to hit a few buttons and select “monochrome” than carry two types of film or a second camera body dedicated for B&W. For this shot, I quite by accident blurred out the Christmas tree lights in the background, but I think it adds a nice background for the shot.
For this shot of Sammo, I messed up on the AWB, but I kinda like the off tint… and this was the start of his bath so the rest of the shots would have been water spraying on the lens.
Nice! I have an old Pentax 645 that I have never used (inherited from someone)… I need to dust that off.
The kids look so cute!
thanks! Wow, you have a 645 and you haven’t used it yet? Nothing against 35mm, but you’ve got to get a few shots with that thing and do some enlargements!
