    Hi Patti,

    I like this shot. Now I'm just trying to figure out why I like it. Normally I'm not a fan of a "noisy" photo, but this one works well. I think it's the fact that there's a guy looking at a movie poster. But the noise in the photo makes me think that I'm watching a movie, too. I guess, for me, it's almost a perfect storm. Without the noise, I definitely wouldn't be as interested in the pic. Knowing me, I'd probably be more interested in what kind of camera he had (am I bad for asking that?)! And the reflection in the glass...Awesome! You pulled me in!

    You have a very good eye for this stuff, Patti. I love seeing what you can come up with!

    I would think all that blurr on the man walking by would bother me, but it doesn't.
    Looks cinematic.

    Soooooooo...

    Did you process and save this as a TIFF file? This caught my eye more than the remainder of the shot, which is a little too grainy/noisy for my tastes.

    Great old flick! The grain helps. You might as well go the whole hog and add some vignetting. Just a thought.

    Shot with my M4-P, 'cron 50 collapsable and Delta 3200 thus the heavy grain. The man walked through my frame and I caught him with his eyes looking at the man looking at the woman's... :D It was a pure grab shot, nothing notable but I liked the gazes and the woman's oblivion to the attention. I thought it might be a laugh to post.

    Love it. How was the rest of the 3200 roll? That's a tough speed.

    Damon,

    I used a dark red filter for daytime shots to take it down to 400 and without for night/indoor shots. The jury is still out. This may be too much grain even for me. I also noted that they were generally flat, lacking contrast despite the filter used. I had to jack the contrast and black via LR3. Lots to learn with film.

    Here are a couple more from the rolls.

    I see what you mean Patti - that is a lot of grain but it works for the second example. I am trying out some 800 this weekend. I'll post when I get it back.

    I like how the guy is almost part of the movie poster.

    The last shot you posted is really cool. The person in there really shows me just how massive that place is. And the noise in that shot makes it just a hair creepy. Very compelling shot!
