Unusual Photo of Freckles

A professional photographer shot this picture of Freckles at the Dog Park using real Black and White film. I had to scan it to get it in digital format but you rarely see black and white photo's anymore. It does present a fairly dramatic image.

Oh thats really pretty. I would have it framed in a really rustic (mayve old wood) frame. Wow....

I want to take photos of my horses in BLk/White. I bet Sassy would look weird with her multi colors splashed everywhere.

It really is an awesome photo. I love photos in black & white. I have a weird hobby I guess you could say...I collect old black & white photos of people I don't even know. I go to estate sales and auctions and bid on the boxes of photos no else wants. I have scrap books full of collages of strangers. My husband says Im a fruitcake, but I just love looking at the photos and imagining who they were and what their life was like. My kids get the books out pick out their favorite photos and ask me to tell stories about them. We have a great time making up stories about the people in the photos.

I LOVE black and white photos. I'm an Annie Leibowitz fan through and through. Great photos of Freckles and Bluebelle.

I have a Nikon SLR (film), Film SLR photography is a hobby of mine.

I mostly do Black and Whites (such a creative and artistic voice to them, I think), I do a lot of bug and flower close ups with a macro filter and I also like wildlife photography.

Kinda dorky, I know... Rolling Eyes

Very cool pictures though~

I just Photoshop my photos into black and white. Not the same thing, I know. Smile

I love black and white photos as well Surprised

They're just so gorgeous. That really is a great picture of Freckles, Dukesdad.

I took some last week of my pets with my old camera because I was making a special thing for my friends birthday and wanted to develop & print them myself. So with the extra film I did shots of my dogs =) Here's one of my chi I mounted and have on my window sill of my bedroom. There's a few of my husky on the hallway walls. It's a photo of a photo, because my scanner doesn't work very well anymore.

I take a lot of black and whites with my digital cameras as well, but as said before, it's just not the same, just a lot more convenient. Here's one I took today downtown Smile

My days are usually pretty leisurely so photography is just a hobby I picked up in my free time.

GWEN, That "Downtown" shot is great!
You should submit that somewhere!
do you actually have that as a printed photo?
I would take the print and put it into a black shadowbox frame with a thick white matting around it! Really great shot!

Freckles is a mixed-up breed that nobody can quite figure out. I think you start with a Springer Spaniel then add a dash of Aussie. Britany, and maybe a pinch of Border Collie.
He is a rescue so we don't know his background.
Here is his Dogster page for a better look. Notice the blue patch in his left eye.
