A day at the beach

Nice pictures...pun intended. There is more grain in the sky than on the beach.

Ha! You've talked me into it. I do really like the silhouette of the bird walking away from the crowd, past the cage like shadows of the chair. I'm sitting here with a couple of envelopes cropping the sky down into the chairs, and the bottom up just a bit without losing those beautiful shadows. I can't say it's an improvement on your wonderful work.

Thanks! Actually, you're right - the beach was all gravel and rocks, so no grain at all

(I'm not bothered by the grain, and actually prefer it in some cases, but it does make me wonder about how much of it is just inherent to film+developer and how much of it is due to the scanner. My bf and I recently invested in a different kind of scanner and have found it vastly reduces the grain in our color shots, but haven't really started in on b&w yet.)
