After Dark

[AlanO]

I guess I'll jump in and wet my toes.

The photo was taken with an OM2N, 50MM Zuiko 1.4, and Ilford Delta 3200 film. This is a scan of an 8x10 print developed in Kodak Dektol and Kodak fixer.

I mistakingly used 2 developers on the neg thinking my D76 was fixer.

TMAX -8m 30s
stop bath
D76 - 6m

After realizing the mistake I fixed for 6 min.

One of the shots from the roll... Comments welcome.

agree. for some reason film seems more valuable or better. Where as digital... well its just information. kind of like when cd's came out we all thought the tapes sounded better...

Ah, so subtleness is your reasoning against the "unlike" button... Good example.

LOL!! No no...I took another look and I really dig it. I was thrown off immediately the first time because of the angle/perspective. But after a closer look I see a lot more. All very subtle pieces thrown together to make a really interesting old-feeling shot. It's a really simple picture...but deceptively simple in a lot ways. Has a kind of dark, hopeless sort of feel if you take it in. I'm glad I took another look at this honest, casual street scene. Thanks!!

It's all good and your comments convey the same feelings I have for the shot. Thanks for the second look and the c&c.
