I spent a couple hours out after sundown last night. These are the 3 that I like the best. All of them were shot with my DS. The details common to all photos are:
Manual Mode 1600 ASA JPG *** Mode Converted to B/W (or Sepia) in camera Please note that I have posted both the larger files (1024 x ???) and smaller files (950 x ???); the file name suffixes are "-sm" and "-sm2" respectively. I have also included the file sizes in the photo details. I have also included some questions/comments for each photo. After Hours <http://www.mme-ia.net/images/peso/2006/afterhours-sm.jpg> 597k, 35mm, f11, 1/4 After Hours <http://www.mme-ia.net/images/peso/2006/afterhours-sm2.jpg> 143k, 35mm, f11, 1/4 Comments: If you look in the shadowed are behind the dumpsters (on the left) there is some noise in the image. The noise looks like the grain produced when I would push 400 ASA B/W film to 800 or 1600 ASA. Is this "noise" the same as the noise generated at 3200 ASA (as discussed on this list)? I will probably reshoot this photo at 200 or 400 ASA to try to get a sharp photo. Memories of the 60's <http://www.mme-ia.net/images/peso/2006/memoryof60s-sm.jpg> 499k, 43mm, f11, 0.7 sec Memories of the 60's <http://www.mme-ia.net/images/peso/2006/memoryof60s-sm2.jpg> 101k, 43mm, f11, 0.7 sec Comments: Smulekoff's is the oldest department store in Cedar Rapids, IA. It is the only one that stayed downtown. It is a store like the ones that I remember going to with my Grandmother in the 60's in Akron, OH...an old building, an old style sign and real product displays in the windows. That said, sepia toning seemed to lend an "antique" feeling to the photo. This is the total opposite of the Wal-Marts and Target stores of this century. There seems to be no or minimal "noise" in this shot. Untitled <http://www.mme-ia.net/images/peso/2006/untitled-sm.jpg> 293k, 18mm, f11, 1/8 Untitled <http://www.mme-ia.net/images/peso/2006/untitled-sm2.jpg> 77k, 18mm, f11, 1/8 Comments: I'm at a loss for a title for this one; "Starway to Somewhere...", I suppose. If you look at the full size version, you will see some of the same noise as in the "After Hours" photo. I would have liked this one to be sharp as well. Thanks in advance for the input...
