This is part of a much larger negative – another product, I suppose, of my tendency for getting in close!
Trying to make it at least one step removed from a straight mono photograph, I’ve reduced sharpness and introduced a digital tone.
Click onto the image to open a larger version in a separate window, and click onto that image to enlarge it further.
Technique: F6 with 24-85 Nikkor lens; Ilford Delta 3200 Professional black and white film rated at 3200 ISO; scanned into digital and manipulated with Silver Efex Pro 2.
UPDATE: well, 12 years ago, and using fast, black and white film in a Nikon SLR, the F6. That was a really excellent camera, but the appearance of Nikon’s D700 DSLR seemed to promise equal things and – having been a confirmed film fan – I changed to digital and have never looked back. I am extremely grateful for the enhanced creative potential that digital provides, and astonished at the pace at which the technology has progressed, especially with regard to sensors.
