Snapshot of Funeral Home

[Grandpaw]

I was driving around town so I could take some B&W shots to have something to develop and print and took this one. I only took one shot and moved on to something else. It was developed and printed at school, printed then scanned and finally re-sized to post here, Jeff

I would crop a bit off the bottom and tilt it a little bit to the right.

Too bad that lamppost it right in front of the home.

When you shoot B&W are you using red or yellow filters? They really will improve the sky.

First of all , thanks for the comments. This was taken with my Nikon F and Nikon 50mm F2 lens without filters. I was mainly interested in just taking a few pictures so I would have some negatives to enlarge. I have to say though that after taking a few B&W shots and printing them my interest in B&W photos has grown dramatically. It just gives the picture a completely different feel. I will have access to the darkroom this semester and next semester also so I plan on taking advantage of it. Due to the fact I am retired I can go and play in the darkroom all day every day of the week at no charge, They furnish the film, chemicals, paper and everything else you need, Jeff

If this is straight of of the camera I think you did very well with the composition. It seems a little overexposed and a little soft. Congrats on making your own print.

I like the soft portrait look of this image. It seems dream like.
