Can't wait! I used to have a photo business and all I did WAS black and white photography!

Thanks, detlef, for the tip. I, too, have wondered how this was possible but can now have some fun trying it out!

I used to have a Rolleiflex twin lens but sold it long ago. Of course, that was when I had my own darkroom at home and could take pictures and print them as often as I wanted to. I long to get back to black and white photography and go the darkroom…

I still use my Nikon Coolpix, but want to get back to shooting with something similar to the camera you posted here - the Nikon D3x. I have a camera bag full of my old SLRs and equipment and long to wrap my hands around a camera like the Nikon 3D!

I like the overall feel to this photo. I took it into photoshop, copied the man and the horse, used the watercolor filter then pasted the man and his horse back into the photo. I wanted the edges of the copied area to blend in better with the…

I like to use folders as well, using all caps for the root folder and more specific sub folders. I dont worry about dates because my main concern is the subject, and the meta tag will tell me when I took them if it really…

Thanks. cameraclicker for your reply. Over several years, my step father took a lot of color slide photography and developed and mounted the slides himself. To keep track of what was what in each of the photos, he carried around a small journal and…

I take a lot of photos. Like Suzanne, I keep them organized by date because any other method I tried was just too much trouble. Mostly I have folders labeled with the year, then a dash, then the month. If there was a special event and I took a lot…

About Me and My Photography Experience:
I had my first darkroom when I was eight years old (it was a simple affair that I set up in the bathroom of my childhood home with a blanket covering the window!). From that simple beginning, I later became a photographer for my college yearbook. Later on, I had a photography business. I am currently into photo restoration and outdoor photography.

I am more than happy to share ideas with fellow photographers and look forward to meeting them on this site.

All wonderful shots Mike!  I love how you used the rule of thirds in your first shot and left room for the clouds.  Very dramatic!  I do understand how the lighting on those mountains can be breathtaking and capturing it is can be so…
