Hi Everyone: In early Oct, my husband & I took a drive down Rush St.;
I hadn't been there for years. I tended bar on Rush st. for several
years at a place called The Hangge Uppe, and it's still there, though
much has changed on the street. Anyway, I took this pic--a real
drive-by, though I was stopped at a stop sign. The original pic is a
mess--at 2500 ISO it's grainier than an Iowa silo, and it has enough
of those pink & blue artifacts to give a digital archeologist an
orgasm. I think those 3 lights in the background biased the metering
causing the original pic to underexpose--hence the grain/artifact
issue when trying to brighten it up.
Since Oct, I've been rendering the heck out of it, and tonight I think
I've finally settled on this rendering. Interestingly though, just
now I printed this pic on some Illford Gold Fiber Silk, 8 1/2 x 11,
and it looks A LOT less grainer than this digital version.

Beautiful. The building spotlights are nicely placed for the portraits.
I think that could be PDML-annual worthy.
Seems to be a universal phenomenon - the girl blings up and goes to a
lot of trouble to coordinate the Vuitton bag with the sparkly top and
little bolero jacket. The guy puts on something clean
