Friday Foto

I used to do quite a lot of Black and White photography when I had an old 35mm SLR Camera, most of the film loaded was B&W. When I was in the newsagents recently they had a Black & White one of a series of Photography Focus Guides. It looked quite interesting so I bought it. On the cover it a CD with various videos and filters on it. Then, earlier this week, Steve put a couple of amazing B&W photographs up on Pencil Dreams, and my interest was really piqued.

Fireworks was fired up yesterday morning, and I started looking at some of the effects available with the filters from the cover-disk. One of them produced the photograph of Godmanchester Church below. I really like this negative effect. It brings back so many memories of when I was a child exploring my parents suitcase full of old photographs. I always enjoyed holding the strips of negatives up to the light, to see things in a very different way. And, yet, it’s an artform that I’ve never explored until now. There’s something about it, that keeps drawing my eye to it, again and again.
