Ever since printing black and white photographs in my fathers darkroom it has fascinated me and now in the digital age it still does.
"A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into." Ansel Adams
Black and White photography tricks us into to looking at the elements of the photograph
Its design, shades and tone without the distraction of color.
We look at not just the objects but inside them.

Good for you. You do excellent, depth of field and perspective were spot on. Black and White is a passion of mine and have been doing it on film in my fathers lab since I was twelve.

I did a lot of darkroom work. Looking at those photographs. My guess. Done with a large format camera, at least a 4 x 5. Also a red filter was used to emphasize the clouds. There's a lot of tricks that can be used in processing the film and printing the photos.
