Learning How To Shoot Ilford HP5

instagram 📸: https://www.instagram.com/morethanyou... In this morethanyoucaretosee episode, I dip my toe into, learning how to shoot ilford HP5 black and white photography. This was my first time shooting this film. For whatever reason, I’ve anyways been a little nervous to shoot black and white. I’m not always sure I’m going to get the results I want. And I respect a lot of talented photographers like Fan Ho who shot black and white. There so much to learn about being able to control the tones of the image, using colored filters, pushing and pulling your film. This really put me out of my comfort zone, I just feel so much more comfortable with color films such as Kodak’s Portra 400. The first roll i shot at box speed, and my second roll I pushed one stop. NOTE: Not all these shots were taken chronologically. I mixed it up with some portraits and landscapes. I also talk about knowing your rights as a photographer and the importance of knowing the rights to your photos. Note: each state or country may have different laws. So know your rights. I developed the Ilford film at home with Cinestill’s DF96 single step developer and fix. Super easy and would recommend it if you are wanting to just start with black and white photography. I scanned my negatives with my Epson V650 and converted my negatives with Negative Lab Pro in Lightroom. This week I plan to keep shooting some Ilford Film such as Ilford XP2 400 Ilford Delta 3200 and Ilford PANF Plus 50
