Today I was playing with the Sony A700 and the in-camera black and white functions. This is a terrific camera for taking black and white photographs. Setting it to an ISO of 800 gives just the right amount of grain. Additionally, I tend it set the contrast up to +2, and sharpness by +1.
This photograph was taken at Greg Lamar’s, in his garage, as he polished the wheels on his truck. Sitting around, drinking beers, and looking through the garage for interesting compositional elements was a nice break from the dreary day outside.
