Javier, this one has interesting processing. The high contrast grainy look makes me wonder how you crafted it.

I can think of a couple ways. One way would be using layers with overlay blend modes. Another might be a pseudo-hdr, tone mapping method.

Mind letting us know?

Thank you sir.
You have many excellent photos yourself.
You've inspired me.
Thank you.

Thanks John. My PP skills are very min, and layers are beyond my pay grade.
What I have started to do of late, is exaggerate the Unsharp mask, convert to black and white in CS3, add some artificial grain and contrast in CS3 using the film grain filter. After that, some slight tweaking with curves and done. Most of the time, I am not happy with what I get, but now and then I get lucky.
Thanks again, javier

Outstanding.

Merry Christmas Javier. Uh oh, Kim's noticing I'm on the computer. Bad Santa.

Good night!

Hi folks..When you get a moment, check out my you tube vids. I also added some music to them as well.
These are only the ones I shot with film. I have not started on the digital ones yet. Give me some C.C.feed back and I appreciate the comments...I just uploaded them.. When it was all said and done, I shot 198 rolls of film in 2009...I have a few days left to reach 200 rolls, so I will try and see if my body will let me go out of the house as I have not been well...I suppose I could cheat and shoot a few around the house.... They are also on my blog.

Javier, i've looked through this entire thread and I love your work. Been wanting to try this for a while, but as was said by others just getting up the nerve to try is hard. That and freezing here in the northeast. Thanks for the inspiration, and keep posting them.

Thank you very much! When you get a chance just do it. Start out on a busy street and go for it.

Today I shot two rolls of film in ELA which was crazy as there you can get shot for looking at people wrong, but I got some great shots, or so I hope. I will have the filme developed tomorrow .
