Today, on a slightly hectic day (with regard to my laziness), I took a few photos at the son’s graduation ceremony. Great musicians. Great music. Great son.
This short article is not intended for analog enthusiasts who master the perfectly “wet” path of creating black and white photography. It is intended for owners of digital SLR cameras who are just discovering the magic of black and white photos. If you still feel that your black and white photo is missing something, I can definitely recommend the Silver Efex Pro program from Nik Collection. The program can beautifully simulate the use of basic color filters. It has several basic presets in its libraries in which you will see what your black and white photo can look like. The program is comparable in price to the price of one high-quality color filter. I personally follow the only rule that my classmate’s father, Mr. Daněk, told me. The rule is: black and white photography has no rules. With one exception and that is composition. You don’t have to wait for the gold or blue hour when taking black and white photos. You just take a camera and take pictures.

After a long time, I received a copy of the newspaper. One worse news than another … I thought about the content of the news for a while, and then I built a paper boat out of the bad news, which I let float down the river as a child. Every fleet should have an admiral. I took advantage of the moment when a butterfly, admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta Linné ) , landed on the sidewalk. He had no objection to my suggestions …. probably. To be silent is to agree. So I have my own fleet and admiral. I’m freaking out …but fun is simply needed! 😁📷
I use photo flashes and studio lights a lot. But most often I use a small but powerful hand flashlight. It is great, for example, for photographing portraits in the backlight It is waterproof, fits in your pocket and, if necessary, often helps not only when taking photos.
Yesterday, so as not to get wet, I only photographed the objects I saw from under the umbrella we have in the garden. I often use the Fujicolor Superia 400. Although don’t really understand with purple color, I like to take pictures with it. You can make a black and white photo of it at any time.

the photo works and sometimes it fails. Today is one of those days when one should not leave the house. It’s cold and it’s raining a lot. As I get used to the intensity of the rain, the rain intensifies. So I quickly took a few remaining shots of the film and went to develope it. Even when pulling the film cassette out of the camera, I managed (thanks to the orthosis on my left hand) to somehow insert my finger through the lamellae of the camera shutter. One by one I pushed back there and it looks like everything is working as it should. After developing the film, I found out that a few images on the negative are scratched (probably due to the orthosis on the left hand again). I decided to correct one of these images in PS and I even colored him. This is not an art. I only regret any images that are unusable.

Placing any point in the golden ratio will force the observer to beholder what you want them to watch. Something makes you look at places that are not interesting at all. The magic of the golden ratio.

The opening image consists of two images. I only had a 135mm lens with me on DSLR Nikon. So that the whole cage of the well and the roofs of the house was in the shot, I solved it by merging two shots.
I’ll add a few DSLR images before the negatives dry. Every one of my pictures carries a story. In the morning, I was fascinated by a fountain in a small town about twenty kilometers from my house. The problem was that the moment I chose the composition, the fountain always changed the force of the water flow. I’m sure someone was standing by the fountain’s remote, having a lot of fun 😁📷
and it doesn’t matter if it’s analog or DSLR. When taking black and white photos, luck is really in the right light. That’s why I often use reflector plates. As well as color filters. Each flower color prefers a different filter color. When taking color photos, I always use ND filters. Notwithstanding the fact that both Lightroom and Photoshop can do a lot of things. I need to see a good photo before I develope or edit it.
In my eyes Indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face Lies the snake And the sun in my disgrace Boiling heat Summer stench Neath the black, the sky looks dead Call my name Through the cream And I’ll hear you scream again Black hole sun Won’t you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won’t you come Won’t you come Won’t you come Stuttering Cold and damp Steal the warm wind, tired friend Times are gone For honest men Sometimes, far too long for snakes In my shoes Walking sleep In my youth, I pray to keep Heaven send Hell away No one sings like you anymore Black hole sun Won’t you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won’t you come Won’t you come Black hole sun Won’t you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won’t you come Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come? (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Hang my head Drown my fear Till you all just disappear Black hole sun Won’t you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won’t you come Won’t you come Black hole sun Won’t you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun Won’t you come Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) Won’t you come Won’t you come
