| Hi Brian,
| Well done, proves once again "if you can see it...... you can shoot
it!" :-)
| Certainly when you have the guts to go for it and make it work.
|
| 2 stop push on 1600 Neopan?  Cool man, :-) because look at what you
have!
| :-) And if these were pictures by Jack Marshall or one of the other so
| called whiz bang big name muscian shooters everyone would have wet
pants
| with excitiment. Ooooing and cooooing about how wonderful they are and
how
| great the photographer was in using their Leicas.
|
| Hell anyone with the balls to push neopan 1600 2 stops and shoot in
| non-light situations making it work, deserves a "photo shooter of the
year"
| medal. :-)
|
| Grain? Naw, no problem nor concern in these types of photo situations,
grain
| is meaningless. Capturing the atmosphere of the location is the most
| important element. And quite often grain adds to the "gritty kind of
| atmosphere."
|
| Good on you, as once again you show the "no grain" techie folks that
what we
| do is all about picture taking, capturing  moments of life and not how
many
| squigglies per mm that counts. ;-)
|
| Well alright, in rocks & ferns, peeling paint and non-breathing things
| grainless counts as does mm's per squigglie! ;-)  OK everyone happy
now? ;-)

just a question do you add grain to your digifiles?
