Hi Ann; not film actually. It's a digital advanced point'n'shoot. I shot in colour and converted to b&w in Lightroom. Most of them were shot in flat light -- overcast midday -- and so I took liberties with curves and contrast controls to bring out much more detail. They were really uninteresting in colour; all dreary, muddy, washed out tones. I was aiming for the those rich blacks that b&w prints can offer.
