Back in the old film days (I love saying that), I had a few favorites when it came to film. For black and white, Ilford made (still makes!) a nice grainy, contrasty film called Delta 3200. The grain was beautiful...beautiful! I do love a nice grain.
Here are a couple pics of a snail flower from my backyard. I captured it digitally (not on film, just for clarification), then I converted it to b&w and added some lovely grain. Enjoy!
[sidenote: these pics remind me of many that i took during a critique class back in VA a decade or so ago. we had to go out and shoot on slide film (which i was brilliant at, i might add) then bring our slides in for class and teacher critique (on projector). i often brought extreme closeups of plants or interesting tree bark (like crepe myrtle, that's a good one) and the teacher would stare for a few minutes (her name was Stephanie...she was fantastic! i loved her) and say, "I don't know what that is, but it's beautiful!" Kinda cracked me up.]
