Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

This is some years ago, we were visiting some nice places in France and I was still using my Voigtlander Bessa R. While walking all over those nice places with perfect grass I asked Viera to stop for a while. Few seconds later I have taken this photo.

It looks like he was run over by bike, doesn't it? I had this picture for a while and I wasn't sure. You know all the time nice pictures and here he is really furious. Suddenly I like it very much especially those track of tires coming from behind his head. Do you still remember it. You were on trip with your folks and was rather warm winter day, snow is leaving fields. You dressed by mama like for minus twenty but you sweating. And than a little more is too much and you start screaming and faithing with everybody and everything.

I do not really know if all this babbling is interesting to you, but I have scanned the Fomapan 100 I exposed the other weekend night. I already mentioned earlier that from negative was quite clear that longer time would be more useful. Now when I see it, I even print small previews, it is not that bad at all. I mean technically. Nice deep dark black with some part with light. I mean it was night so it is normal that it is dark on picture isn't it? But hey do not by cynic, it is ok. I am quite amazed by the scanner. It is able to pick up such a little details in exposed parts. Only little light can be there but scanner can pick it up, better than on overexposed negatives.
So as I said technically is not bad, on other hand that what it is on picture is absolutely not good. I need still a lot to learn. Yes it was experiment I never did before. I was making up scene and than photograph it. And I need to try more, this time it wasn't much of success.
