I know it's intended, but the manner in which this is overexposed is displeasing to my eye. I love the idea, and I appreciate what your attempting. I even occasionally like exposures executed with this technique, so I encourage you to continue. I just happen to find this execution unsuccessful.
I love the framing and proportions. I feel the mystery I believe you intended -- a mix of thriller-movie dread and hope for a Door #3 type prize. I just wish the exposure was... not even sharp, just different.
Thanks. I appreciate the comment. I'm all about constructive criticism.
Yep, mystery was the goal.
What's the technical information on this one? I'm interested in the grain on this -- it looks very much like digital camera noise, not like film grain.
I've mentioned this before -- one reason I like my camera and one reason I got it is that it was reported to have a noise character than mimicked black and white film grain at high ISOs better than most other cameras.
This really looks like digital sensor noise from high-gain.
It's the same camera and 50 mm lens. Kodak Gold ISO 200. I don't have my notebook with me to see what the shutter speed and aperature were.
Screwing around to see if I can make the grain do something more pleasing. I when B&W and upped the contrast about 30% to a more B&W level. I'm unsure if it's any better, but it might give the uneven shine down the knob-side seam more definition.
You know, I don't have the print with me, but I think its partly an artifact of the scan.
Oh, that could be. Annoying to have that layer in there.

Yep. Ironic that while I love film, in order for more than 3 people to see the pictures, the first thing I want is a digital copy of the images.
I still want the camera/lens/film/exposure information, if that's possible.
Darn, I forgot to check if I recorded the settings for this picture. I'll try to check tonight.
I'm going to an Albuquerque/Santa Fe Flickr meetup tonight. It's a DIY meetup, with people building sophisticated flash stands and light boxes. I'm mostly going to meet people and observe, since I'm not into the lighting gear yet.
How did it go? Did you learn anything?
I didn't record the exposure information for this one.
Yashica FX-3 Super 2000
Yashica lens 50 mm 1:1.9
Kodak Gold 200 film
How did it go? Did you learn anything?
It was fun. It was one of those things you go to and don't know anyone there when you get there, but very friendly, welcoming people. Very serious about their photography enthusiasm. Knowledgeable about the technical stuff.
The projects were all about different kinds of modifiers for flash photography. DIY ring flash, beauty dish, grid diffuser, strip lights, and snoot. I've never even checked if the flashes for my cameras work, so all unexplored territory for me.
The strip lights and snoot with grid diffuser were finished enough for them to take pictures with just plain flash, and then with the flash +. The differences were dramatic. Very interesting.
