formed

I grew up in a darkroom. At least photographically.

The old man had to jump a Canon A-1 (as always occurs to me what an old bag, I am even now: the A-1 fell on my 1980 in the hands). In school I had an art teacher who was incredibly well the basics and teach tricks of photography. With him we were sitting in the photo lab, wrapped Ilford from FP-4 and Agfa Pan 400 film from a big roll and printed the photo cans themselves exposed film did not go to the lab: Prepare developers await the development time and always set to the rhythm tip, then fixer pure, dry, finally - the dark room full program, including the different prints on paper with different gradations.

The love of black and white photography has continued until today. For some time I photograph and digitally in monochrome. Thanks to the RAW mode, I can get the color version still, if I feel like it.

Why I like SW Sun? Now draw these pictures to look at the essential, to graphical elements on contrasts. The content is dominated, not a surfeit of colors. The World in Monochrome is not just a discolored - it opens up new possibilities, even for images that would otherwise not be considered because they were too colorful or taken in bad light. Color distractions are of no consequence. Monochrome images are a reduction to the statement on lines, geometric shapes and structures.

Sometimes sepia tones as well do a picture. Please take your time on an experiment! A really good picture looks in Black and White!

Here is a picture that has emerged on the B5 for Lauenburg / Elbe. The monochrome color variant

and the sepia-tinted:
