stefan1 0 Posted April 2, 2004 A lot of grain is not compatible with photos of children, or so many seem to think. I think the grain achives a softness that is very appropriate for this this shot. What do you think? Link to comment
stefan1 0 Posted April 3, 2004 The "large" version looks awful, wonder why since the original is within specs and should not have been resized... Medium size looks a little better. Link to comment
mark_j_james 0 Posted April 5, 2004 Hi, I dont particularly like the grain apparent in the large version. I personally dont think it adds to the image, Which I think is a great composition. Have you tried using a red filter to create that soft look? Personally I quite like the effect it has when taking portraits. Out of interest, what did you process your Delta 3200 in? Its a little grainer then Im used to seeing it, when processing in ID11 after pushing to 6400. Love your Folio by the way! Cheers! Mark Link to comment
stefan1 0 Posted April 5, 2004 Hi Mark - thanks for your comments and suggestions. I tend to avoid the red channel when I do digital b/w conversions, so I am intrigued by your suggestion which runs contrary to that. Maybe just a matter of taste, but would like to check it out.The film was exposed as 1600 but developed as 3200 in Ilford DD-X. The large image here was mangled by photo.net somehow, and the crop I uploaded only gives an idea about the grain, but nevertheless I find your observation about the grain intersting as well.
