I love this version: for its simplicity, positioning, use of space, and the direction of his look which gives it a bit less formal a look (which for me anyway quite suits little boys). And I suspect my B&W bias is showing through a bit.
Nothing wrong with a little B&W bias Greg 🙂 … although neither shot was posed, I see your point.
By the way, in the first shot of the series (where he is smiling directly at the camera), he was actually “trash-talking” me… calling me “stinky socks”, which is his ultimate put-down.
I still don’t like the colours of the M240, but I have to admit that it makes a nice BW
Hi Kevin, the M240 B&W conversions… yes, they are very nice. Still very digital-like (of course), but nice.
By the way, I happen to really like the colours in Part 1, but chacun Ă son goĂ»t as they say…
Cute tree.
Yes indeed.
Hi Peter. I read your film developing article at Steve Huff. It was nicely written. I wrote a question to you there: ” How do you heat the developing solution to the correct temperatures? Do they need to be exact?” Can you send me a response to: yaz1959@aol.com
Thank you,
I sent you a reply – thanks.
FWIW, I prefer the colour version. This is nice, though. But for me, it isn’t b&w unless it’s high contrast. I’m very… how should I put it… dogmatic about that. But that’s more about me than other photographeres. Other people can do nice b&w which isn’t high contrast.
