Film Grain
by CJ Morgan

If nothing else, digital has afforded us finer
grain (i.e. lower noise). Just to remember, this
is what ISO 3200 negative film use to look like.

Bob, there use to be a French photographer who went by the name of Sarah Moon.
She use to do some very interesting photography using grainy image making. So I
can certain see it has it's place. But I think it takes a particular kind of photographer
to pull it off well, and certain subject matter or scenes that works better than others.
The best I've come to it was when I was using B&W infrared film doing landscapes.
But even there, as I said, certain scenes worked out better than others.

Great example of high iso film CJ. These days we tend to want an image that's so sharp that you could cut yourself with it! In some instances, the grain give an image an improved feel to it don't you thing?
