I finally finished the roll of film that I started at Trailer Trash day - so here are some b/w shots, again just a few fun candids and more from the saran wrap suspension.

Those B/W's of Chris are friggin FANTASTIC, seriously I really like those. The headshot a bit better than the other but they are both incredible. (-;

I agree with you, I love how those came out. And thank you! The headshot one is a little sharper, too. I was still shooting pretty slow shutter speeds indoors, even at 1600 ISO.
I love my b/w film. I think for film work, I'm just gonna concentrate on slide film for color - it's tough, but if I do my thing right, I should be able to make gorgeous full color transparencies - and the high ISO for b/w. I'm still thinking about a new digital camera at some point, that has a bit better resolution. Haven't even gone so far as to compare features and pricing yet, not ready to spend the money. But I would still like to have the option of shooting digitals and not having them limited to the under-8x10 size that my digitals are now.
Yep, I just want it ALL - want my option of what medium to shoot any concept or single image in. Appreciating the differences!

I am very humbled with your use of Film. I could only dream of trying to create so many levels of tone in an image as these contain. Its like some of the stuff I have tried to create with contrasts but just have not figured it out yet.

In all honesty... the film just kind of "does" it. It's why I like the b/w film so much. Digital b/w has a totally different feel to it. I've never even tried to make a digital shot imitate the look of a film shot, so I couldn't even begin to give advice on if it can be done convincingly. These are really seriously just snapshots... indoors, not even thinking about lighting beyond "is there enough light to shoot by?" Even fast b/w film kind of has that same "the blacks are inky and the whites are almost kinda washed out, but in that good way" feeling, just crisp without the grain the high ISO stuff has. It's something in the difference of the way the gradient from white to grey runs, I think. It's a harsher gradient, yet in a pleasing way. Maybe that's best I can explain it.
You should think about getting like a Canon A2E or something - they sell for about $100 or something, used. If you want to try shooting some film, that is. Works just like our accustomed digital cameras, only you just don't see the image on the back afterward...! I can maybe let you borrow Gremlin's sometime to try it. I won't sell his of course, but having it used and appreciated would be fine. I don't use that body, because I have my own Canon 35mm that is my primary film camera - the 1NRS these were shot with.
You have a Canon, right? I can't remember which camera you have, but your same lens should fit the A2E if you want to try it out sometime. I think it would work great with your style, and you can get scans of the negatives and do all your additional digital magic on them still. Course it entails paying for film and processing, but for certain projects, to shoot a roll selectively here and there isn't all that expensive. Shooting piles all the time, yeah, really adds up!

Thank you! I was really happy with how that came out too. He just might end up with an acting portfolio image out of it, if he wants to use it, and I'd be perfectly happy with that!

Thanks, I will have to consider that for another one of my million and twelve concepts that are floating under the bed. 6-;
I think (next to the chemicals) my bane with film is the costs. I have never done will with the chemicals and well, yeah. I am currently using a Canon 20D, so if the lenses fit that would be cool. Though, we may talk about that later.

Yep, the 20D uses the same lenses. So let me know if you want to try it sometime.
I don't process my own film - yet - want to though. But meanwhile just take it to a lab, and I have a film scanner, but the labs can scan the negatives for you also. So no contact with chemicals necessary. The cost part - yes. My favorite 35mm film is around $8/roll, and about $8 to process. So about $16 for 36 shots, and then of course I don't pay for scanning cause I do that myself. Could set you up to do that here at times too though, and save that cost, maybe.
Anyway we can talk about it, yes!

As in print size? I can do that - I just have to scan it at higher resolution and clean up the scan a bit. You want me to do that and send a file? Otherwise feel free to just download the .jpg if you're looking for online use.
I'll credit you with the makeup on dA - didn't have any clue who did it and should have asked from the beginning!

Come on - EVERYONE get film cameras! I still want to put a darkroom in here.... maybe next year, I guess. I've never even worked in a darkroom, sadly. Can't wait to be able to shoot the film and go straight in to process it myself!
