found these on a park bench that our home backs onto near the children's play area. Thought it would make an interesting study of texture and tone in B&W.

I agree. I also like the focus and B&W tones too.

Love the use of DoF in this image ...

Cheers Bambi, AntZ and Matt.

Very good use of DOF and I also like the tones.

Nice work. I have been enjoying your B & W film shots to such an extent that I have recently got out my old film camera and just ordered some film for the first time in a number of years.

Cheers asnow. Runmonty, thanks for the feedback- glad to hear it's re-kindled an old relationship.

I really enjoy your work. This image is very appealing.

Ilford Delta has a wicked tight grain. I terms of sharpness, I still prefer what comes out of a "Yellow Box". Both have nice, but different, tones and either is just fine. My F100 is always loaded with T-Max 100 and both the n80 and n90s as well as an old Spotmatic carry T-Max 400.

Happy Shooting!

Cheers Barefoot, I've shot both Kodak and Ilford. Recently picked up some Porta 120 colour film (not sure whether I will shoot it in my Kowa Six or my m645) and 35mm Ektar.

An accomplished image edG, a pleasure to look at. I was going to say good conversion too, then I remembered to read the accompanying text :)
