{"id":20551,"title":"First b&w roll, need some tips and criticism! :)","author":"alina_aloha","permalink":"https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1deycqa/first_bw_roll_need_some_tips_and_criticism/","description":"[Olympus AF10-Mini / Kentmere Pan 400]\n\nI just got back the scans from my first roll of b&w film. It was actually just a test roll for my new cheap point and shoot camera (I chose the cheapest film stock), but I'm so surprised by the results! I feel like black and white film brings a certain feeling and story with it. These photos are all unedited so far and straight from the lab scan, but I could see myself enhancing the contrast a little and pushing the blacks in Lightroom.\n\nThe second frame is a lucky light leak! It was the second of the roll and I guess the back must have let in a little light, because the scene itself didn't have any direct sunlight (although it looks like it now).\nThe first photo was actually a horizontal picture as you must have guessed from the camera position, but i decided to crop it as a vertical picture because it looked better :)\n\nI'm really happy about any input and criticism on these photos and would love some tips for shooting black and white film! What is your favourite b&w film stock and what about pushing hp5+? Which subjects are interesting on b&w film?\nalso, how do you guys edit b&w film\nphotos in Lightroom, if you do?","score":597,"nsfw":false,"grayscale":false,"timestamp":1718283456,"sprocket":false,"images":[{"resolution":"low","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/b4955366-c48f-4b5e-8ec5-52351ef5879d.jpeg","width":576,"height":720},{"resolution":"medium","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/990a672f-6b6b-455f-bc40-0f3774cc67ee.jpeg","width":864,"height":1080},{"resolution":"high","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/326bb32c-f2ac-4149-be49-02576018e0fd.jpeg","width":1152,"height":1440},{"resolution":"raw","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/2c77fcbf-7b6b-4432-8f1c-abd2abf15d75.jpeg","width":1729,"height":2161}],"colors":[{"hex":"#272324","css":"darkslategray","html":"gray","percent":0.46403598},{"hex":"#54504d","css":"darkslategray","html":"gray","percent":0.32425251},{"hex":"#f0eff4","css":"whitesmoke","html":"white","percent":0.17332417},{"hex":"#838280","css":"gray","html":"gray","percent":0.03794367},{"hex":"#b9b7b8","css":"silver","html":"gray","percent":0.00044367}],"keywords":[{"word":"black","weight":0.0775213},{"word":"white","weight":0.0622156},{"word":"contrast","weight":0.0518946},{"word":"curve","weight":0.04852321},{"word":"tool","weight":0.02519236},{"word":"stairs","weight":0.02018698},{"word":"shadows","weight":0.01898734},{"word":"sliders","weight":0.01569868},{"word":"mood","weight":0.0153057},{"word":"whites","weight":0.0141888},{"word":"brightness","weight":0.0130719},{"word":"cologne","weight":0.01158269},{"word":"selfie","weight":0.01133449},{"word":"grey","weight":0.01094151},{"word":"couple","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"hang","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"axis","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"brightest","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"gentle","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"sets","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"midtone","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"crossover","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"brighter","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"skin","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"start","weight":0.01092082},{"word":"greenhouse","weight":0.01071399},{"word":"flowers","weight":0.00806652},{"word":"emotion","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"filmic","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"partial","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"persuasion","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"paramount","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"subversive","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"intimacy","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"allure","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"nostalgia","weight":0.00765285},{"word":"important","weight":0.00655663},{"word":"face","weight":0.00653595},{"word":"suggestions","weight":0.00653595},{"word":"desert","weight":0.00653595},{"word":"window","weight":0.00653595},{"word":"tips","weight":0.00568793},{"word":"thise","weight":0.00533631},{"word":"stock","weight":0.00533631},{"word":"city","weight":0.00533631},{"word":"walk","weight":0.00533631},{"word":"deep","weight":0.00479854},{"word":"heavy","weight":0.00479854},{"word":"darkest","weight":0.00479854},{"word":"mirror","weight":0.00479854}]}
