Feb 16, 2010 13:12 | #1 Made these in class today. Which do you think is better? And what do you think about the picture? The project was DOF. Shot with my A2E and 28-105mm at f/4, 50mm. Don't remember the shutter speed. Film is Kodak T-Max 400.

Maybe the cut off branch near the top, something that would stand out better.

Ideally, you want to use the shallow DOF to make your subject POP out of the frame. You can also aid in this by trying to eliminate unessesary and distracting "stuff" from the background. Gear List: Bunches and bunches and still looking for more!

Feb 16, 2010 19:40 | #4 Ok, thanks. This was just one picture I kind of liked and wanted to see what a print would look like. I still have a whole roll I could print. I'll find a better one I suppose α7R IV | Σ 24-70 f/2.8 | Σ 150-600 f/5-6.3 | Σ 14-24 f/2.8 | 1D MkIII | 430EX II | 24-70 f/2.8L | 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

When working in black and white you want try try and achieve a full black to white scale if possible, up the exposure time and contrast a bit with the enlarger... I'm learning how to work in the darkroom myself now. It's just a matter of experimenting and learning what to do in certain situations. Looks like what you're doing, so keep it up!

I do agree with the image being a tad gray, but I do miss the grain that exists in film images. -Brian
