Black & White

I bought a 35 mm film camera a few weeks ago because I was offered a semi steady gig that required a film camera. I have NEVER shot film before. I was Born and raised in the digital medium.

So I decided to start playing around with it.

I took one roll of film in Rhinebeck, NY.
I liked about 8 of the photos.

Here are 5 of them












I then decided I really liked the feel of Black & White and wanted to see how well the digital camera did. I previously never shot B&W with my digital because I had seen a few B&W digital shots and never really liked them much.

So anyway. Here is a shot of a guy that pissed himself while reading a book in Barnes & Nobles in Queens, NYC.




And finally...
I took a photo using a technique called HDR. I think it probably stands for high dynamic range.
It's where you take 3 photos of exactly the same thing. One photo is under exposed. One is over exposed and the third is "properly" exposed.
Then you mesh it all together in Photoshop and mess around with it a bit and you can get something like this.

Keep in mind this is my first attempt, but I hope to keep on playing around with it and get some crazy shots.




So that's shot from my rooftop. You may recognize it from the 398 other shots I took up there.

In case you are wondering what happened to all the tits.
I am planning a trip to Virginia from Dec. 14-16 to shoot some new and exciting models.
You should stay very tuned for the updates that follow. It will be bananas.

That's it.
