I just tried to post a discussion so if this pops up twice I apologise.
Anway, I wanted to see your grain shots. I love a bit of grain and I thought it would be nice to see some other shots all in one place.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think grain can add interest to an image, a sense of nostalgia and can make shots artistically supreme. We all love digital because we can get those megapixels point sharp and clear but a bit of grain gives another dimension don't you think?
Post your shots and your thoughts on grainy photos :0)
Here is a shot of mine I've added specifically for this thread:
@lynnb hahaa, I thought some people might think that! Lovely shot
@alisonp spooky and sinister looking shot, the grain definitely gives it a film feel and the iron is just fab, chrome and other metallics look great with a bit of grain!
@mikehamm I agree, I think it can help with details and interest :) I love the car!
I haven't used it much, but loved how it enhanced and softened this photo. Lots of great samples here. Also, I thought that this thread was about wheat and such (that kind of grain:).
i find that grain works nicely to give a noir effect... i try to work with it when i am stuck with it, on the theory of make the most of what ya got... like when i am shooting hand held in low light and have to boost the ISO...
