Here's the same shot with some grain added... from a tutorial I got somewhere on the web. Do you think it's an improvement??? Left one is with grain, right is just a repost so you can see them together.Nice shots BTW - really like the B&W
Bondo - agree with you re: cameras like the 1Ds3 and D3x bumping into the workable ceiling of the 24x36mm sensor format.
That's funny... I was uploading this as you asked your question. Did not add grain to the color image.David - did you add some 'grain' to the (color) image? Has a very nice film-like look.
Hell they eat lunch here. LOLGuy - you and the courier drivers must be on a first name basis by now. ;>
No way you can blame this one on me Seriously though, I have heard that the Mamiya 300 is SPECTACULAR and a veritable bargain compared to what they cost when they first came out. Great price on the adapter, mine was almost $300.Crap just bought the 300mm . Kipper i am going to strangle you.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Thanks for the input... I will give that a try. For anyone who's interested, here's the link to the grain tutorial (and a grain file to download and use as a layer in PS). I think this was posted before by another forum member but can't remember who it was.David
Edit - just realized I had the shots backwards ("..Jeeves - more coffee damnit...!). Sorry about that. The higher contrast GRAINLESS shot comes across a little more 3D-like. Your eyes are drawn more quickly to her face.
That said, the addition of the grain does tend to nicely blur the OOF highlights behind her. Maybe split the difference - or up the contrast a bit in the 'grained' shot.
