My journey with B&W film brought me back to a location which captivated my interest a few years earlier. As interesting as an old gate and fence post are it was the light of the midday winter sun that just stopped me in my tracks, why, I didn't know but I really liked it. I photographed it and was underwhelmed when I viewed it on my computer screen until I converted it to monochrome and there it was, light, texture, shapes and shadows but I never really understood that and would often convert images to monochrome, some worked well, some didn't :-).
It wasn't until I decided to really get serious about B&W film that I had a eureka moment! I could see in B&W but just didn't realize it!!! Sure enough, when I looked back on images that I thought looked better in monochrome, 90% had the same characteristics, light, texture, shapes & shadows.
It took me 6 years to figure out why some images jumped out at me!! I really wish I had taken a photography class back in the days of film, I probably would have learned this in week one!!! Doh

This is the next-to-last shot I show you from our trip in Portugal. Tomorrow I will finish the series with a last impression from Porto.
On the way from our hotel to the old city centre we always saw that woman with her dog. And so I took some photos at different times and places.

A lot times when I'm outdoors with my camera, I'm looking up and out to vast landscapes, snow peaked mountains, or constantly changing clouds. Many visitors to the Oregon Coast do the same, they gaze out at the waves and the seemingly infinite horizon. I don't blame them one bit, the ocean is beautiful, but honestly it doesn't really hold my interest or attention of my cameras.
I don't often see people with their cameras/phones trained downward to the sand, driftwood, and grasses below. A shame because the textures and subtle changes in light can be stunning, with endless photos to be made.
On this trip down along the southern Oregon Coast, my back was to the waves and my 'head was in the sand' for much of the day. A couple partially buried pieces of driftwood and wind blown grains of sand were all I needed. That and some b/w film.

Welcome back Fuji Acros... sort of.
I wasn't quite as bummed as some when Fuji announced the discontinuation of Acros earlier this year. I liked the film but used other emulsions such as Tri-X a lot more. I was more of a Neopan 400 guy myself. Now that film I loved (along with the Neopan 1600). So maybe some emotional distancing had occurred by the time only Acros was left.
Nonetheless, I did enjoy the film when I occasionally used it. So when we got a shipment in at work recently I picked up a few rolls before they could sell back out. Then on a recent trip up to get in a snowy hike on Mt. Hood I figured that would be as good an opportunity to burn through one of the rolls as any. The film's fine grain and sharpness seemed well suited for the crisp landscapes I was bound to be hiking through...
Neither the film nor the mountain disappointed on that day.

I like to watch people, to speak to them, and if they are interesting to take photos of them.
Ich liebe es Leute zu beobachten, sie anzusprechen und wenn interessant, sie auch zu fotografieren.

I used to think that winter was an ugly season. But the real problem was that I just wasn't watching it closely enough.

A Rolling Royal Feast in Portugal: The Presidential Train.
Built in 1890 as the Royal Train for King Dom Luis I, it hosted heads of state like Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Paul VI. After Portugal became a republic in the early 20th century, it was renamed the Presidential Train and hosted global dignitaries until its last ride, for the funeral of dictator António de Oliveira Salazar in 1970.
