I have been immensely inspired by "black & white minimalist landscape photography" recently, especially having stumbled across some amazing images on flickr. I'd really like to try my hand at attempting this myself but wish I had some better guidance. I tried to contact the photographers themselves but have received no responses. I believe that they all used medium format cameras and from the lenses, I have gathered that most of them use Hasselblads. I think. I have an old Mamiya 645, which I haven't even tested yet (since it was given to me by my grandfather) and I'm wondering if I can achieve similar results with it.<br>
I guess my question is, by looking at these images, can you tell if they were shot with film or digital? The first one used film but the 2nd and 3rd ones don't give any info. How much photoshopping or post-production would you think was involved? Okay, I'm still an amateur at this whole thing but I'm pretty sure places like these don't look like that in person. Also, are there any websites or resources out there that teach you how to achieve final results like these? I know a bit of photoshop but I would love to advance my skills....I'd like to learn how to "polish" my images like the ones below...<br>
Thanks in advance for any advice and recommendations.<br>
Take care - Dylan<br>
Oops, for some reason, inserting the image using icon thing didn't work. So I will just list the links.<br>
