wow. i was expecting to come in here and see a bunch of silly point and shoot crap, but some of these are pretty neat.

some shots are kinda cliche. they might be "pretty", but they're nothing really special requiring any more skill than being able to get up early in the morning. i'm not down on scenery shots. :) but the rest of them, including the one with the bottle in the window and the books. wow. normally, i'd suggest something like that be done in black and white, but in colour it looks amazing. the contrast on the books, and that shade of blue. oh man, yummy.

i am slightly curious to hear where you got the picture of the explosion from. it doesn't seem like an average everyday thing that a guy taking pictures of mist morning scenes would come across. you're not trying to pull a fast one on us, are you?

otherwise, good shots. you have an eye for colour, and for good framing. although, i do see a few shots that would have lent themselves to b&w more. go buy an el cheapo old pentax and have it loaded up with b&w just in case. or just go for the ol' count n wind.

oh yeah, the last two shots with the trees.

were they shot with infrared b&w? the leaves look too bright to be on normal film.

I just want to thank everyone who left some comments. I really appreciate them.

Inkster, I'm not pulling a fast one. That explosion was at an airshow in Red Deer. The only other picture from that airshow is #7. All the other aircraft photos are from the Abbotsford airshow.

The lightning photos were from an incredible lightning storm from when I was in Alberta

Number 66 and 70 were done with infrared film. I used a red filter on it too. The infrared film brings out certain objects brighter than normal. The red filter is key to make the sky dimmer. The film is Ilford SFX 200. It's really hit and miss when it comes to achieving a spectacular effect.

I do have 2 camera that for special events I'll load 1 with B&W. One time I was going around with 3 cameras. The reason I don't use B&W more is that it's almost twice as expensive to process. I find that price difficult to justify when I can just do it on computer.

In photo 10, that blur is a radial motion blur from photoshop. I do a bit with photoshop, but I don't like to spoil a good photo by making it unrealistic.

Anyways, please post your comments, cause I will read every single one.

Actually, yeah.. some of those are really good. (For me to say that is a real compliment :) )

Are you from Red Deer perchance? I am.

you can get b&w c41 film that costs about a buck or two more, and is the same to process. the quality is fairly good, although there's a bit of a sepia tone to it that comes from the colour stock being used.

in terms of just being able to convert colour to bw... sacriledge! you lose a lot of detail whenever you do that. and it's just like... wrong!

Oh my... I didn't read that. Shame on you Jonesie! Shame! The extra couple of dollars is worth it. Plus, the only ones who develop B&W are professionals. I've developed many rolls of B&W and never had one screw-up.

Okay, well first off, I'm not from Red Deer, but I spent a lot of time there in the summer of 2000.

Secondly, I understand that converting to B&W is sacrilage, but in my opinion using anything other than true B&W film is also sacrilige. Those of you looking for a good B&W film, I recommend Ilford HP5 400. You can push it up to 1600 asa or pull it to 200 asa. At 800 it is still fairly good. I'm not sure if it has enough contrast for me though.

As far as developing my own, I've never had any formal photography training. With formal training, comes training in developing processes. I'm kinda embarassed about the fact that I don't do my own B&W developing.

Some of those are from the Pitt river dyke. The pitt river at the Lougheed bridge has some of the nicest views. There's almost a garunteed gorgeous shot every morning.

I work in a photo lab that only processes c41 film and The quality of true b&w cannot even compair to the c41 b&w. I would spend the extra $$ and just go with the ture.
Btw Jonsie Awesome pictures. I took photo(9,10, 11 &12) in school and I couldnt shoot anything that could even be as great as your pictures keep up the good work :170:
