Monochromia

Aiming For the Sun

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

This is an image that was shot with my Nikon FM, then developed using Cinestill 96 at home. I scanned the negative with my Fujifilm GFX 100s using a Loawa 100mm 2X Macro lens. The sculpture is located in Duluth, MN. I had issues with the film not rolling properly on the developing spools and lost all but a dozen images out of two rolls of 36 exposures. The survivors had interesting artifacts as part of the issues.

More of my photography can found on my website and my blog.

Bird On A Stick

Black And White Photography, Don, Photography

I saw this Mockingbird in a small bird sanctuary with the wonderful — and unusual — name of “Dos Vacas Muertas” (Two Dead Cows). Photographers call this a “bird-on-a-stick” photo, a slightly teasing term indicating that, even though we all take them, it is a bird picture that takes little skill. It’s true. It’s just three simple steps: 1) See the bird; 2) Point the camera; 3) Push the button. Easy peasy.
To make up for the simplicity of the image, I had some fun finishing it.
