Description
I took this photo using Kodak Highspeed recording film.. it shoots at 1000 asa and can be pushed at least 3 times and still maintain similar grain.Since the advent of digital, the film companies have been slowly removing speacialty films such as this from the market. I used to use these films in my investigations but learned how to use them for non traditional things like portraits. Its a dam good thing I have bulk stock in my fridge..but no doubt, at some point in the future, my darkroom will be nothing more than museum pieces..

this picture is all about her, not the color or tint or cropping , she is beautiful but she's more sexy. She has a wonderful jaw line and gorgeous lips that just make you want to reach and touch them........I bet that crossed your mind while taking this photo...........lol

yeah I like the grain on this too, she is very beautiful and the sepia tone enhances her timeless feeling of beauty

um,, er ah,,, dont know.. colour blind....for real. lol.. i do the tinting, sepia, selenium, but dont really get to see the outcome.
I'm blue green colour blind, so I miss out on a lot of colours in the spectrum. I have learned to compensate,,,,,sometimes... my daughter likes to play practical jokes on me with colours and insisted that she come with me when I bought my new truck...to make sure it wasnt an embarrassing colour, lol.....she doesnt want to learn to drive in a "gross colour" lmao.

Lovely portrait, and the grain is very little for 100asa, but why does it have all the digi-cam specs added to the deviation?

lol,, lousy flat bed scanner..
I tossed it not too long after.. I now use a very nice, very expensive negative/slide scanner which is incredible in its quality..
a lot of the shots in my gallery are from me scanning the negs or slides.
unfortunately, there is so much noise in this scan that trying to fix it is next to impossible..but, as soon as I come across the negative (one of like 10's of thousands that I have) I'll resubmit.
