Brittany

This summer in Brittany we discovered the joy of pommeau, a delicious apple-based aperitif. My father, pictured here, particularly enjoyed it. I used the DxO Film Pack program, which is both a plug-in to Photoshop and a stand-alone program, to make a high-contrast B&W conversion that emulates Tri-X film, including the grain, and then tweaked it a bit in Photoshop. It takes me back to my early days in the darkroom!

I think this is a great shot as well, Alastair. Loads of character and emotion and the 'grittiness' really works well with this shot. Thank you for the privilege of meeting your dad and also thanks for the explanation. Love it.
