Hi Brigitte, I agree with you: greenhouses are inspiring places (I really liked the sentence about the scent) and palms and other plants bring lots of photographic opportunities. I don't see why the T-max wouldn't be the right choice of filmstock, though. These photos are contrasty and alive and look awesome. I wonder what you would choose if that film wouldn't have been in your camera.
I can imagine that, it would be a pretty different look though. BTW sorry I just saw I misspelled your name; I've known some Brigittes in the past, but that's no excuse:)
Thank you so much! Well, I guess it's mainly a question of taste. Personally I prefer something a bit softer and more "elegant". I think the reason why I am not totally crazy about these photos is, that I am comparing them to some very similar ones, which I made with Kodak t-max 100 and I prefer that look. You can see one of them on my Instagram. Not sure the link works here, but I'll try and insert it: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5frqxtNciJ/
I’m right there with you, I’m not really a plant person, but I really enjoy a botanical garden! And I absolutely love a green house with palms. The textures and different shades of green is always so interesting to me. You can go there 100 times and find different ways to capture it!
Even with the b&w, the types of plants you photographed still took advantage of the film. Love the detail and contrast in this dark centres of the stems but it’s the last photo that hits for me, those subtle lifted shadows give it such a nostalgic vibe.
Thank you so much. I like the last one too, although it's a bit different from the other ones. I even considered leaving it out, since I thought it didn't go so well with the others, but I decided to leave it, as it would otherwise mean wasting a nice photo :-)

Ps: I would probably also have preferred Kodak tri-x 400 over the t-max 400...

Oh don't worry. You are not the first one to call me Brigitte :-)

I absolutely agree. They are magical places. Thanks for commenting!
