First Batch of B&W Photos

Here are the first of my artsy-fartsy photos from class. At first, I was very skeptical about using black and white as my main photographic medium. However, after seeing the contrast and detail, I am quickly becoming hooked. These were shot in the Mark Twain National Forest during the Trespassers Wil Rally February 22, 2008, on a Pentax K1000 with a Vivitar 1:4.5 Telephoto Macro Focusing Lens and Kodak TMax 400 ISO film. Negatives were scanned, and levels and such were tweaked with Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my Macintosh PowerMac dual 2.5GHz G5. Click here for the photos!
