For me, sometimes black & white film provides the best medium for capturing a scene.<\/p>\n

Working with my Nikon N90S loaded with Ilford FP4 black & white film, I exposed this sequence of photographs at Mallow, County Cork.<\/p>\n

Soft afternoon sun provided some nice light; just the sort of low sun that allows for tonality and texture to be interpreted on black & white film.<\/p>\n

Previously, I\u2019d struggled with FP4 to get a range of tones that satisfy me. With this roll of film, I used Ilford ID11 stock solution without dilution at 68 degrees F (20C) for 5 minutes, with only a short water bath prior to develoment.<\/p>\n

Although, my negatives still required a touch of contrast adjustment in post processing, I\u2019m very happy with the way they turned out.<\/p>\n
