I am somewhat new to the photographic world. After several photography classes in high school, I have forgotten alot. I have a Canon EOS and have had good luck with it so far. Since I have a brand new baby & adding artwork to my home, I would like to expand my photographic knowledge and skill get into black & white. I'm looking for a good film to start out with and I'm wondering if there's any luck with filters...do they work (besides blurred edges) and can I create different effects as I could with color? What are some good resources for beginners that I can read? Any help you can offer would be so much appreciated. I realize these aren't the kinds of questions that professionals prefer...but I'd be ever so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you!(posted 8949 days ago)
