The Mimic.........
Aug 1, 2017 11:48:37 #
I always enjoyed shooting B&W (and Color for that matter..) with Twin Lens Reflex cameras. So lately, no longer having a Rolleiflex, Hasselblad, Yashica-Mat, 330 Mamiya, or such, I experimented. With my old (!) Lumix GF1. With a top mounted EVF that is articulated to mimic a waist level viewfinder. The camera and lens combination (an adapted Minolta MD 28mm F 2.8) have no Vibration Reduction or Internal Stabilization, so that adds to the experience!

Very nice photos. I like the photograph of the dog best as it seems to show more a difference in the black to white tonality.

I like the first for its soft tones and range of tones. I would have preferred a little more sharpness on one of the buds to make it jump out. For me, the photo could use more contrast, but I am a fiend for blacks and almost hang mine in crepe. Very nice experiments. Matt

Thank you Matt....I appreciate your insight and B&W knowledge! All of these images were shot at F 2.8 - wide open with that lens. I agree a sharp bud or two would make for more pop and direction. I'm not so sure I like the composition quite so much either (the centering of subject). Hindsight!
Thanks again, Matt!
