Lovely, again, as usual for you! Are these your friends or are these members of your community, who are used to you and your camera therefore trust you, and does that make them your close friends. What are they talking about? No head on those beers...

I love your on-going body of work

Not only are they great photographs but will make a great historic project on every day lives.

Great image !

Especially enamored of shadow, light on face, face profile, and outdoor snow scene.

Colin, you and the film have certainly caught the full range of tones here in what looks like a big range. The scan appears to be very grain free for a 3200 film in a 35mm camera What size print does the scan equate to and does the scan replicate what a print would be like?

I have some 5x7 prints with Delta 3200 and even at that size they look grainier than this. Maybe TMax3200 really is less grainy than D3200

Thanks

We're not looking at a scan, we're probably looking at a jpeg which itself may have softened evidence of grain according to decisions made after the scan. Then too, a flatbed scan always softens detail.

I'm impressed, eager to read more about that.

I scanned this on an Epson v700 so I'm sure it's not as fully detailed as a scan off of an actual film scanner would be. I didn't do any noise reduction or any Photoshop filters whatsoever.
I believe I scanned at 2400dpi on the Epson, worked on the resulting TIF in levels and didn't do much beyond that. I think very light dodging in a few places, that's it. I think the developer choice also had a big effect on the grain -- in my mind, DD-X just does everything well.

I'm really impressed with the reincarnation of TMZ, it's just perfect contrast and grain for my liking -- I don't shoot it in daylight much but cloudy days or indoor scenes like this? Wonderful.
