    Thanks, I like grain too - even this which is bit extreme from the crop, but it abstracts in a pleasing way for me -

    Far as the crop: though not why I did it, that was what an actual technique was in past with this film I think. Take a regular shot, say of a couple, with them as part of a larger framed scene, then crop down to just them - result: the high-grain shot of only the two of them.

    Lovely image, but no longer one I'd call "street photography." By removing all context you've changed genres. Nice moody portrait, thoughmwink.gif

    As an after-effect I think you can, but to me the thing itself looks like the thing itself if you know what I mean. get a cheap film camera and play around - (some really nice ones are in that "cheap" category)

    Yes, exactly. If it's there, it's different than if it's there there.

    There, I think we've got it.

    Alien Skins Exposure 2 has lots of grain options....I haven't yet had the chance to play around with grain yet to recommend these PS plugins for that effect (though I will say that I LOVE Exposure 2 for its other features). Having said that, I think I'd grab the SLR and some film if I really wanted to achieve gvf's grain effect.
