- Black And White Film Photography: How to Shoot Differently. In my post on film photography, I talk in detail about how shooting on film helps to hone your skill.
- The Dynamic Range. The first thing you’ll notice when you get a roll of black and white film developed (particularly with the brand of film that I use: Ilford HP5 Plus) is that the dynamic range is a lot worse than what you’re used to with digital and color film.
- Advantages of the Dynamic Range. Once you understand how the film reacts to the light, you can use it as a creative tool in your photography. The light is harder to control but, when you expose a photo correctly with the light in the right places, the results can be much more dramatic.
- Skin Tone. One of my favourite things about shooting on film is how good skin looks. Black and white film in particular makes the skin look great. The natural grain adds texture and detail, while the lack of color emphasises the tone of the skin.
Jan 22, 2021 · Black and white (B&W) film is the the oldest and simplest type of photographic emulsion. Beginner-level film photography classes have traditionally used B&W film because it’s very easy to work with. It can be developed at room temperature using fairly benign chemicals, and prints can be made in a room illuminated by a safelight.
