Taken at iso 1600. I actually kind of like the grain

You've got to love the d70

Great stuff mate :D

I believe that shot would not have the same impact if it had been taken with a lower ISO.
The grain adds that final ingredient to the image IMO

Cheers
Ray :P

It's funny how everyone tries to avoid grain but to many people who are not obsessed with sharpness (eg, my wife who couldn't give a hoot about pixels etc) a bit of actually adds a lot of character.

Indeed... I often play around with added grain etc, especially to b&w pics.
Character, feeling and emotion is what artistic photograhy is all about !!!

Andrew... that is a wonderful shot! I only wish that I had caught the shutter bug when my boys were babies..

Well done!

I suggest you invest in getting the shot printed and frames, those type of memories will mean more and more as the days and years go by....

cheers

That's a really nice image, dude.

I don't know about most people, but I'm really into the grain. I'm thinking of blowing up a 35mm neg to a 1 meter by 1 meter print (darkroom) at the moment and I've been encouraged on by one of my teachers because even she likes the grain...

Grain is good.

Pixels are bad.
