I don't do B&W pics, I don't think my camera has a setting for them. Most of them end up looking like fake patina anyway, fake. I've always prefered color, just like I see'em. B&W reminds me of what I always hated about print magazines, they usually had limited color pages, due to printing costs I'm sure, but I hated to see a pic of a nice car and have to wonder what color it actually was!

 

Took this one this summer in front of our house, car is Alpine Blue BTW.

 

Tell us how you really feel about Black & White photography Bobby~ HRP

 

Not too long after they invented color LOL,but was too high $ for us in early 1960s. Mom's rule was always use up all the photos on the roll before taking it too be developed. By then some picks were two to 3 years old,LOL.
Steve Reep on running board an I'm on fender,30A powered by 292 Y-block V8

 

By recent, is it when it was taken, or when I acquired it?

 

Dana, I'm sure you and your buddy are enjoying a ice cold soda in that photo.

Is that Steve's model A or yours? With the Y block I assume it's yours. HRP

 

Still one of my Favorite coupes ever!

 

Here is a picture of a picture.....that was taken at the Old North State Invitational last year. This is across the street from this wild old Shell station that was restored and the whole building is a Shell Oil shell. Had this one blown up and printed out to hang in my living room. That's @Hurley50 suburban poking in the side, @hotrodderhaag model a coupe Ron Barbarino's chopped Plymouth coupe a my roadster and Fox's model A sedan. this is the best show of the year. Cant wait for this year. this looks staged but it was all of us parked after we took pictures of our cars in front of the cool shell station. This is my favorite picture I have ever owned.

 

I totally agree, this car just has the look! HRP

 

I took this photo at the National Dodge Brothers meet in 2014 for the DB 100 year anniversary....

 

Were there any 1914's present at the meet? HRP

 

Thanks Jason, and HRP, Know one understands when I tell them of my cars, it's my favorite too. But if that Rod could talk. I'd have to shot it.:eek Here's a B&W I took at Hershey this year.

I think there were two of them.

 

Looks just like some I have. Love it old and checked. Nice photo.

 

These were shot with a 100 year old Kodak Brownie,, 125 ASA 120 film from Amazon, developed in D-76 1-1. Then scanned on a flatbed scanner.

I like the softness of the film, compare these to converted digital shots above, the digital is almost too good

 

Last summer in front of the local used record store.

 

Ya Regal beer,,No,That's Steve's "A" "Scarlet Fever",but yes I helped put the Y-block in too it ,an painted it red,pinstriped it. Steve did the white top as well.

 

I was going to mention this, B&W isn't just the absence of color, it doesn't work that way. See: Adams, Ansel

 

I tried to wrap my head around Ansel's Zone System back in 74. He was way above this journalists eye.
He would wait for hours for the 'one' shot.

 

Two of my grandsons and I eating at Coney Island in Fort Wayne In. Its a cool old vintage restaurant and we had a blast. Hope it qualifies.....kind of brings a tear to my eye. Gary

 

Last summer at the Ocean City Cruisin'. My old '55 Desoto, now owned by my best bud, and my '50 Dodge.
