Nice composition, but I think you might have overshot the mark a little bit in terms of grittiness. > > <http://www.seeingeye.tv/PESO/peso020.html> This one I quite like. > > <http://www.seeingeye.tv/PESO/peso032.html> Nice shot, I think it would be better with a bit more shadow detail.

I can understand the pleasure of shooting with film, particularly a very simple film camera, but if that’s the effect I want, I’ve got plenty of them collecting dust. If I want gritty loss of detail, I can always do that in post processing, but I can’t recover detail that was never there.
