    Am useless at coming up with names for photographs.

    Also I’ve posted this in the film forum also as it was stand developed in Rodinal for 2hrs.

    Cheers for any comments

    I like the slight grainy effect (sorry don’t know the technical term lol) Nice tone to the B&W. There is alot to take in but I am drawn to the person and want to know what they are doing, so maybe a name to do with spying lol. Sneak a peek, Voyeur, I spy. As you can see I am pretty pants at names too. ;)

    Thanks connie.

    Yep its called grain. This was taken on b+w film. The guy is actually painting the inside of a stall in a shopping centre in Cork on a Sunday.
    Quite liked the lines, him and all the other stuff around him.

    The Matrix?

    I read your account of the stand development, very good-
    I suppose you’re developing to exhaustion here-
    I wonder if there would have been a very different result at an hour?

    It looks like the lighting is quite flat, is that how the scene looked,
    or has the stand development helped to reduce the contrast?
    or rather, extend the tonal scale?

    I suppose the framing might have been quite brightly lit compared to the interior,
    but measurement might be the only way to tell…

    Is this a HDR?

    Thanks Joseph, The Matrix suits :).

    On the developing, it would have been interesting to see it at an hour for sure. I might get a roll of Delta 400 (35mm) again just
    to see.

    The lighting was quite flat to be honest, but going on some of the other shots I think that the stand development would
    have also reduced it/extended the also. The key thing was I managed to stay away from the huge grain which I didn’t want.

    cheers

    I should have phrased it better regarding alot to take in. It was meant in a positive way. I actually like all the different things there are to see against the lines and angles. I always like shots taken from a different view :)

    Like the unusual perspective on this and there is lots of interesting details in the shot to look at, nice one
