Byblos photo (R-D1 ISO 1600)

It's about grain, not about haircuts.
Thanks for showing this. I am awaiting delivery of my R-D1. Have been reading up on everything. So it is nice to see an example of what its 1600iso delivers.
 
The lighting was difficult, these guys were standing near a light spot in a dark area.

Being close, I could not center the camera on them so most probably the camers's meter was fooled by the light source and thus captured the scene at almost 1/100 ISO 1600 rather than the 1/25 that I would expect under such conditions (with a large aperture) - besides I did not have much time to play with the exposure compensation or anything other than capturing.

Therefore, I had to overexpose later by at least two stops before cropping and also use Epson's Raw sharpening dial to improve the focus - this feature has a tendency to add nice grain. Both probably contributed to the vintage look
