Looks like Charlie finally got off the train.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I dunno, I think his fate is still unlearned. He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston - he's the man who never returned.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

Frank, thanks for the info, I'll check for the CD !

If I get it I'll tell her about you, sure.

Have any others of you found FP4+ to get grainy in low light? I took a shot of a cappuccino with it in low light at f/1.2 on a Canon FD SLR lens, and the photo came out well, but pretty grainy....

The weird thing is that other shots on that roll did not come out grainy at all. It has always struck me as odd.

Stuart, that does not look really grainy to me. Some of my shots on TMax 400 are REALLY grainy 🙂 I think it also has to do with proper exposure, with underexposure yielding larger grain....

I love that super shallow DOF, Stuart!

Stuart, I don't consider that to be very "grainy" at all. The grain seems to show more in the light areas and that may be as much your scanner as the film. Nice shot, BTW.

Thanks guys, I don't consider it overly grainy, but I do notice that the grain is more like what I am used to with HP5 than FP4. It does not bother me at all, I think it works with the picture, but it is just odd to me. For example, here is a picture taken with HP5 that I think has similar grain:

And here is a shot from the same roll as the coffee shot that seems to have less grain to me.

In any case, it is probably just the apparent grain because of the less-busy composition and the lighter, more solid tones. It is nonetheless odd...Oh, and I have printed this several times in the wet darkroom, and the grain is there as well...though a bit less obvious. Perhaps it is the scanner as well.

... and back to the topic of the thread: here's a link to Susan Latimer's music:

I am REALLY enjoying this CD!

Sounds REAL good Frank, thanks !! Just ordered the CD, and yes, I let her know about you 🙂

Stuart, this is OT concerning the thread, but when I look at the URLs for your pics, I'm wondering in what way you are connected to UCSB (reason I'm asking: used to study there as an exchange student in 1994/95).
