So is the tree kept up all year, or do you dislike other decorations?

On Canada Day, we light it and throw it off our balcony instead of fireworks.

It's a tunnel, it worked well in black and white and I like the lighting, the textures in the grass and the man made, but natural looking element.

Strictly speaking that's monochrome not black and white, although I just desaturated it and do prefer it without any hue.

It's got weird edges - is it a scanned/photoed print?

Bah, you and your techno speak. But yes. However, if'n I went into the photo shop and asked for a monochrome film, they might look at me funny. You're right though, it's scanned (I do still shoot with film. Sometimes) and I think the scanning process lent it a slight tint.

Go into a photo shop and ask for any film and they'll look at you funny - even a decade ago film users were a peculiar bunch, now they're like the freakshow at those old circuses. :P

To the best of my vague and incomplete knowledge of the archaic technology, the film is b&w - you do darkroom processing to add a sepia/selenium/cyanotype/etc tone and make a b&w image monochrome. Or use a cheap scanner. :D

My local [-ish] photo shop sells loads of film and no funny looks

(I only shoot film, and it's getting real hard to find)

I like this shot. The tint gives it an olde timey look.

Here's a bunch of trees falling from the upper stories of our building -- and yes, here in the North we do get blizzards on Canada Day

Where should I be looking - I can only see planted trees, nothing falling or alight?

Also, the one in your room is plastic... :/

They didn't use enough lighter fluid. Brats on the ground will take care of that.

Aye. Although it can produce one-bit bi-tonal black-and-white images, the majority of stuff will be monochrome.

I used to enjoy messing around with grain on the 100 iso films. 'Course you can change ISO at the flip of a switch now, but seeing real film grain is so much better than digital noise.

 

Only high-end scanners can resolve film grain, unless it's really, really big.
