A WISTFUL SNACK

[FUJI]

Testing my vintage Jupiter 8 lens this morning ...wide open at f 2.8.

Converted, then given the...Film Noir .......treatment in Nik Silver Efex.

Moody!

[Ryewolf]

I do like the image and composition, not so keen on the grainy film noir effect though.

[Phil]

Have to agree with Rye, I do like the moody processing but the grain is a little heavy handed.

Thank you both for your interesting feedback.....

The grainy look is a Classic way of rendering which goes back to the early days of the  Study of....Photography as Art.....Many artists were horrified/scared by what the camera could do; other's embraced it, and used it as I do today, as a drawing aid; Artists and Sculptors have always used many types of visual aids and measuring tools, especially in Portraiture.

This grainy look, had a lot to do with the film technology of the day, but also as an Artistic expression of presentation, or presenting a photograph as a work of Art rather than a mirror-like reflection; warts and all.....the argument still rages today.

I have been studying this very important part of Photographic history and have learned to love much of the pioneering work.....I have this book at home....lots of it available on Google and YouTube.
