the place is called a "diner" in american english. the kind of place where we were eating.

it seems she has one of the most beautiful hands in the world

The light, the tone, her expression, the hands are all so emotive. ( i hate saying that word... but youknow what I mean)
It reminds me of some the Steiglitz photos of his women.

it's quite dull in my humble opinion, then again, it's a negative scan viewed on the scren and blahblah... however, i like the expression you captured. one of those staring-straight-through-that-camera-glance.
however, funny that so many people shoot delta3200 - i've never been happy with it. i highly recommend neopan1600. screw ilford.

ha ha... =ComeWatchMyArt went to the great lengths of fixing the levels on this. i'm old enough to remember the seventies, and being on da has made me an absolute fiend for low contrast and subdued colors! i use 3200 because i'm frequently in low lighting situations, but i will try the neopan1600.

i see what you mean - and low contrast looks awkward on screens i think (needs printing which is the nice thing about b/w photography). however, neopan1600 is definitely not a low contrast film.

i like to try all kinds. i can like contrast, too, but one does because a little oversaturated with saturation and contrast on da.

i know, everybody says it who's shooting film because it declares how much you are into "it" but yes, judging a frame taken on film through a scan is retarded. there are so many more features that seperate film from a digital capture that cannot be shown through a screen. yeesh, now that sounds very film snobbish. yes.

i love film, all kinds of film. i use film in my beloved and lowly cameras, the holgas and the sx-70. in particular, i love time-zero (r.i.p.). film give you a way of patiently exploring how different types will react under different lighting conditions, etc. you learn how you can best use it. my strength is definitely not as a street or straight b/w photographer, but that is the kind of photography i probably most admire. i don't thinking loving film is snobbish. i often wonder what is lost from something that looks great on a screen going to print... with digital art.

Wow, this is really, really wonderful Elinor.
The pose is great, very pensive and expressive. It makes me want to know what's going through her mind.
I love your low-contrast look as well.

it has a lot of grain. that film is fast and grainy, grainy, grainy! we are old enough to fondly remember when film grain was the norm.

Ha ha yes we are old enough to remember grain, maybe that's why I like it so much a lot of good memories!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
also, being on da makes me crave grain, lower contrast, and subdued colors. i feel i have been saturated with the opposite, pun somewhat intended!

O
ps
ths sort of reminds me of 'Love Story' --don't know why...maybe its the hues......the fade tones.
anything that reminds me of the sweet seventies---is a good thing.

love this such a great shot... it feels like it was taken int the 70's... I like the low contrast in this composition... very well done...

thanks. being on da has made my appetite for subdued colors and low contrast voracious! there are such ramped up colors and high contrast b/w's all around me. i really appreciate your comment!

a little bit low contrast in my humble opinion but the picture's ok. can't say if she's unhappy for something ore just pissed because you've keep shooting here for a while.

She has beautiful eyes
I just got some 3200 for my holga (I'll have to mumify it in black tape!) what did you use to shoot this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
why not correcting the levels? 
I think I'll have to buy some ilford 3200 too

i don't know. i liked it low contrast. i usually just let it look like the print.

just to give you the idea how it would look like. if you already do, sorry. if I shouldn't just edit your photographs, sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, it's okay, but for me it loses too much detail and gets too dark.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you exposed the film as 3200? or lower?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
also, i scanned it as grayscale as my scanner does evil magenta things to photos. i think doing grayscale takes something away from it in terms of depth. oh well.

she is very different here... more woman than before...like a new consciousness run over her..
I adore her hands, althought my last sentence is lil banal
I adore the eyes on the hands...
