Thank you so much for lovely positive comments on my previous post for B&W shots! Now I can't wait to load another B&W film and start shooting more on B&W again.
The strong summer lights and shadows come out really nicely I think. I used Fuji NEOPAN 1600 Super PRESTO for these shots, the contrast came out quite strong (of course i didn't retouch any of these). If you have any good B&W films you can recommend I'd love to hear and try!

Have a lovely weekend everyone ;)


P.S. I went to this wonderful band's really fun show at a sweet little "kurashikku kissa" (classic tea house) in Asagaya with lovely Ebo-chan today. You should check out this post on Hello Sandwich!

  11. There is really nothing like black and white; colour is in a way just in our imagination. Strange and facinating to think about. Really good photographs.

    Lucky you being in a cold weather! (i say this because it is really really hot here) I like b&w shots in winter too which i will definitely try when winter finally arrives!

    tifanie,
    yes i think the harsh shadows and light on b&w turned out really nicely, expressing this extreme heat of tokyo!

    Viilhvile,
    Yes I agree with what you say! I just didn't realise that so much before I took these on b&w!

    Barbara,
    I think I will keep shooting on b&w more now!

    Yes that "cake" sign is nice isn't it! B&W photos are really lovely!
