New Photographs

As promised, here is the first round of work that I have been producing on 35mm, black and white film. Last January, I enrolled in courses at the St. Louis Community College at Forest Park, which gave me access to a great, black and white film lab. Since then, I have been working on a group of pictures that centers around a wooded area in Forest Park (the urban park of St. Louis). I have made a few exceptions to that, as you will see. Enjoy.

All Nikon N80 or N8008s with Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D or Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G lenses.

Black and White Fridays

Posted in Jason Gray with tags , , , , on September 16, 2010 by Jason Gray

I feel like starting a new series just for Darteboard. I definitely owe anyone reading this something a bit more than I’ve been giving for quite a while. So here begins, or rather last friday began, a black and white friday photography series.

I must say, I love Nikon’s, in-camera, monochrome function; it just gives a look that reminds me so much of real black and white (film that is), which is quite difficult to achieve through Photoshop, et al. The only downside is that it forces me to shoot in jpeg, but given that the monochrome function spits out a finished picture, including the sharpening, I can live with it.

Hope you enjoy!
