The Pass in Black & White

Wrapping up my posts from the South Tyrol area of Italy, here’s a small selection of black and white work from high atop Grödner Joch. The contrast was so high up there at 2100m, the whites impossibly so, I had to dial it down a bit and work with some recent VSCO film packs in Lightroom. I shot everything in full colour with my Fuji X-E1 on this trip, but when I shoot film, it’s mostly a black and white affair. I was certainly longing for some analog action up here, a couple rolls of Kodak HIE Infrared film would have been perfect. Alas, I will just have to go back some time with some other cameras (and a few weeks to trek these fine mountains, too).

  Thanks Bearly — and for the correction, too. I seem to have spelling it right, oh, about half the time in my latest posts. Clearly this is not a lake ;)
