#14 – Aftermath.
Nikon F90 | Ilford FP4
These are some black and white snaps I took on Ilford FP4 back in late July.
I usually don’t shoot too much black and white film – mostly because I do love colour in my photos, and it’s also a tad more expensive to get black and white film developed. Although, sometimes when your composition is a bit cluttered and there’s too much going on in the frame, I think black and white would work well – it shifts the focus away from the plethora of colour to the focal subject and overall composition of the image.

I haven’t tried other black and white films, but I love Ilford FP4 for its soft, faded look and low contrast – which is pretty much my kind of aesthetic. It has a sensitivity of ISO 125, which is great on a clear day. You could try bumping up the ISO setting on your camera and “push” the film, but I have yet to try that technique (not quite that brave). I generally like to use films that are ISO 400 – I find it’s the most versatile for my use.
I have 2 rolls of Kodak T-Max 400 sitting at home – I’ll let you know how they turn out when I finally get around to using them. In the meantime, enjoy!
