Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

My favorite testing ground is children's playground. I love to be there Sunday morning when sun is young and shadows are long. Light is nice contrasty and all metal things has little moisture. Nobody is there. I take advantage of great light and mine own memories from childhood and I am forgetting about camera and focusing in image. This photo was created same way. As additional factor I had Fuji Across exposed at 50 ASA. And I love the result.

One of those sunny day, she went to back garden and I followed her with camera.

Playing at the lake. I was fishing around David and his friend with my 28mm lens. I made more nice shots but I lik this one the most.

This is the end of Rodinal for me. Results from my last 1+50 try are not in any sense better. But I would say worse. Grain is more pronounce and contrast is even higher. I will stay with my Paterson Aculux 2.
I have add few pictures on galleries, mostly informal portraits. All of them are done with Fuji Acros. I am starting to like it. And pity that I didn't shot more of it at 50ASA. And I shouldn't tell you that I add next example picture for Fuji Acros at 50ASA to my article page.
