Friday Shoot Out-Black and white

Friday Shoot Out 

is not gonna happen like I had planned.

Computer trouble.

Theme Black and White

As I have mentioned several times I do not go to town very often.

Usually at least once and sometime twice.

This is all I have seen for two week.

On the road to town last week.

On the road to town this week.

On my back deck. 

Two lonesome chairs.

Looking at us looking at them through our kitchen window.

They seem happy as long as the feeder is full.

The lay of the land everywhere I look.

It is a beautiful time even if I am just admiring through the window.

The sun is shining will get out this PM

but it is cold in Kentucky

Sepia Saturday-Week 46.

Sepia Saturday

Week #46

When I first started posting on Sepia Saturday, I thought every post had to be old. Yes I knew old could be sepia, black and white or even color.

But a few months ago I learned how to take photos in black and white, sepia and color with my handy, dandy digital camera.

So I decided to look for some things that look old and do a study with my camera setting on sepia.

An old wedding dress for sale at Goodwill.

An old abandoned house at the far end of my neighborhood.

I think that you can tell these are not old photos, I took them on Friday.

But because they are obviously old items, the sepia does not look to far off course.

Now let's look at this photo.

 She's a cutie for sure.

I took this photo 10 years ago with black and white 34 mm film in my old Canon.

I took it to the regular place I had my photos developed and printed back before digital cameras, of course.

Now, I did not tell the person at the counter that this was black and white film.

Someone told me that if I had told them it was black and white it would have been developed differently than those with color film.

I did not try to get them redone, I kind of like it like it is.

As I said she is a special little girl no matter what color the picture comes out.

How it all started

 On this day.

Sepia Saturday

Since I do not have personal photo this week I ran across this on Wikipedia and found it very interesting.
Someone may have posted this before, but I haven't seen it.

True sepia toning began around the 1880s with photographic prints that were exposed to sepia in order to aid in replacing the metallic silver in the photo emulsion with a silver compound. By doing so the developer could change the color, obviously, but also increase the tonal range of the photo. It was also believed that the sepia toning increased the photo’s longevity by replacing the less stable metallic silver. Indeed, a lot of sepia prints remain to this day. Sepia, it turns out, is simply ink extracted from a cuttlefish (the European Common Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)), a cephalopod closely related to octopuses and squid!

Ugh, I would not want to find my self face to face with this.
I might end up in permanent sepia.
