Teaware B&W Appreciation
Ilford XP2 shot with a Mamiya RZ67. The negative is 6x7cm so I should be able to get a large print from it. I’m tempted to try the same shot with large format for kicks.
Edit: Corrected film type

That's a fantastic shot @Baisao
I wish I could justify a nice camera to even attempt to follow up some of these but I simply wouldn't use it enough. I'll just have to live vicariously through this thread

Thank you very much! You don’t need a fancy camera. I think a lot of these photos were taken with phone cameras. I just happen to be a film photography enthusiast and enjoy geeking on tools and processes.
That's a stunning shot. What's the focal length here?Baisao wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 8:45 pmDesaturated Ektar 100 shot with a Mamiya RZ67. I used 6000k light and while the color is okay, I’ll nearly always prefer B&W over color. The negative is 6x7cm so I should be able to get a large print from it.

B&W brings out the structures and tones so nicely, e.g. the droplets of water.
Thank you very much, @Balthazar! I corrected the type of film used: it was Ilford XP2. I was a bit tired when I posted it. I agree with you regarding B&W. I took color photos that day also, hence my confusion, but they didn’t have the same feeling.
I was wide open at f2.8, hence the very narrow depth of field on the 110mm lens. It was low light and there were some exposure adjustments because of bellows extension, but I think my exposure was 1/5th of a second. I could have used a higher stop but I’d lose the enigmatic feeling of the items that are out of focus.
