Williams's use of the word "push" reminded me of film days and how we
would push films beyond their intended ASA/ISO and would *expect* the
grain that came with it. In fact, with B&W it was often an
aesthetically pleasing effect and got the shot when no other options
were available.
While I find noise objectionable in color, I find it to be more
similar to film grain when used in a digital image. I plan on playing
with higher ISOs on the Q for monochrome effects in a similar way (
and perhaps see what Silver Efex Pro 2 can do with it, also. )
reaching for the Q could then be like reaching for the old box of
Tri-X. We seem to think that look is a sin now that no noise digital
perfection is the near-norm, but I think it can still have its time
and place.
