Title: Four B&W from the Faroe Islands
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on July 27, 2022, 01:16:38 pm
Good morning everyone! I always loved B&W and created some of my most exhibited work with it, but lately I have been shooting even more in B&W, something that suits my mood and vision much better, these days.

Here are four B&W shots from the Faroe Islands:

Phase One IQ4 XT- Rodenstock HR 23mm

Very nicely done as usual. Hard to pick a favorite but maybe it is the first for the stripes! :)

What can I say… Beautiful photos, we can forget all technical info and simply enjoy them for hours.
Congratulations, Vieri.

Thank you very much Peter, glad you found my B&W choice suiting the subject matter! :)

Thank you very much Matt, while I love them all, I gotta admit I am partial to the first one as well - and the second... - but, I like the third too... - and the fourth! :D

I agree!

Thank you Eric!! :)

Wow! You are really making great use of that 23mm super-wide lens.
I have the 28mm version, which I have thought is plenty wide enough. I may have to rethink that now.

Hey there, thanks! Love the 23mm, but I am a ultra-wide angle lover, always have been. Such an amazing lens! Which system are you using?

Best,

I am using the Cambo WRS-1600, and have the 28mm, 40mm, and 70mm lenses. I am also looking at adding the 135mm Rodenstock lens as well.

Hey there, that's a great system and set of lenses! I do have the Arca-Swiss Rm3di, with the 23mm, 40mm and 180mm Rodenstock, plus a 100mm Schneider - love them all!

Best regards,

The first image has an "other-worldly" quality that makes it special.
