Love, love, love # 2. And boy, does time do some amazing things to Plus-X grain. :-)

Thanks BD! It was a crap shoot with film so old, that's why I used the HC-110 but I didn't expect such graininess from an iso 125 film! It was an interesting experiment.

I love the grain, I really like the second one , I would prefer it not showing the arm and hand just above his sleeve, would be better IMO.

Thanks lensmole. The grain is nice. Plus-X!

Awesome. #2 is an album cover. I think the arm and hand adds something nice. Everyone should shoot film once in a while for a change of pace. Forget Instagram.

Thanks Jack - and I totally agree re: Instagram. I don't know what that is, but it sounds bad!

Basically it's film simulation software that people use on facebook to turn crappy point & shoot and cell phone photos into vintage-looking snapshots. For that purpose it's actually kind of nice because it takes otherwise unusable images and turns them into something nostalgic. But film is still better!

Interesting, thanks!
