Fun with film cameras (Image thread)

[pdh]

thanks Antonio.
The guy and the scooter is only "almost" - he had a damn great CanoNikon tele pointed at the Vespa but by the time I got the camera up he'd moved!

Antonio you flatter me ... I love this little series of yours, especially that woman's smile, but also how you've handled all the different tones and te DOF in "Franky's"

Antonio, another fabulous set! I would LOVE to spend an afternoon at Franky's!!

This is my first outing in this forum. Here is one from the first roll of 35mm I have developed in 20 years. I'll post a few more as I get the hang of this whole develop/scan/touch up workflow .

Hey nice to see, Sam.
Grain!
What's the film/dev combination ?

Thanks Paul,
The film was HP5 and developer Ilford LC29. I can't quite work out why some came out ultra grainy like this one and others were quite clear. Aperture used maybe? Does lens choice affect grain?

[pdh]

Lens no, exposure yes - underexposure = more grain as I understand things but you'll have to wait for a properly experienced old hand at this developing game for a proper answer ... from all my reading up, can be be poor temperature handling (thermal "shock" between dev/fix/wash) or choice of developer amongst a zillion other variables ... though if you have grain/not grain on the same roll I'd guess it's exposure.

I've recently joined over at APUG and they're a helpful and incredibly knowledgeable lot (but you mustn't mention the "D" word!)

Thanks Paul,
I have moved the discussion to my film questions thread to save cluttering this one up.
