I made this site to display a portion of my black and white photography collection. I use medium format Mamiya cameras with either Kodak PX125 or Fuji Acros film for the landscapes, and a 35mm Nikon with Tri-X film to capture schooners and lighthouses.
Settings
I try to view my surroundings acutely, and recreate the varied images that presented themselves, capturing the feeling that was inherent at that moment in a still photo. I shoot many images during poor weather; snow, fog, cold, wind, and rain create certain scenes not often found in picture-postcard conditions. Black and white photos capture these moments and add to the realism in ways that color cannot.
Locations
I photograph locally around the Penobscot Bay area of Maine where water and fog dominate, in Iceland, a country that has wonderful lighting conditions as a result of the Northern latitude and daily combination of wind, rain, and sun, and lately during winter in Yellowstone National Park. You can always check my gallery for new black and white photos.
I also display my work at various local art shows throughout New England [see Events], and in art galleries [see Current Galleries]. If you are interested in buying a print, or one of my “3D” photos, see the online store for details. I’m always open to suggestions and comments at well. Thank you for viewing Ducktrap Photography.
