I just spent the last three hours editing some shots I took for the Glass Coin Launch party (www.glasscoin.com). They turned out great but took a lot longer than I intended. I'm only uploading these two shots for now because I've got permission for one and the other is a group shot so it's okay to post.
In editing these shots it has become apparent to me that I actually prefer black and white photography to colour, something which comes as a surprise to me as I've never really had a preference. This doesn't mean I'll avoid colour, but a lot of my work for the next little while will be black and white (so long as the shot doesn't look better in colour).
The first shot shown is the poet "Truth Is Ellipsis" performing some truly great work. It was shot on a Nikon D2x at ISO 640 with a shutter speed of 1/60 and an f-stop of 4.5. It's all available lighting, with some obvious post work such as the black and white conversion and some noise added to give the shot a grittier effect.
The second shot was also taken with a Nikon D2x at ISO 500 this time. The shutter speed was 1/60 with an f-stop of 4.2. Again it was available light, with some blurring for post work and some added contrast.
There are a couple more shots, one of which I'm really excited to get out there but I need to check with the people in them first to get the go ahead to post them online.
Until next time,
Jeff

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures from our launch, Jeff. You've got an eye and you're selling me on black and white. Although I like colour - Rainbow Brite, Mate. Colours make you happy. Cheers.
