Deadly Leap to BW

Today I have to pick-up my first black and white series. On Friday, I managed to take a peep at the developed material - and I can't wait to see what came out.

The film I used was an Agfa BW, of 100 ISO (sensitivity). I should also try higher ISO, at least 200 - in order to get that commercial grainy look. Most of the shots were taken in-house, so I'm a bit nervous about the lighthing. Should I mention that I constantly forget to scribble my diaphragm values and exposure times when I take pictures? I think the reason for this is I get too emotional when on the verge of shooting a new photo and end-up losing my pen, notebook or even my head.

I need to share a few photos that I couldn't manage to take yet:

• Nicole dancing on a sparkling wooden floor. Skewed light falling from narrow windows. Perhaps we should have her friend, Andrei, join her; let them do a tango; didn’t find the floor yet.

• Nicole on the banister of the staircase in a medieval castle. I spotted the location. I know what she would wear: low-cut, long dress made of red wool. Didn't find the time; and the dress ;).

• Nicole's legs, down from the knees, barefooted. Perhaps the photo will preserve the margins of her silky dress wrapping her knees. Up to this moment it has been too cold to put this in practice. Winter in Romania seems to last longer every year.

Hope to get back tomorrow, with the BW eye witnesses of my thin photo skills.
