very nice expression and composition.. I was going to mention cropping the top, but on second thought it's better this way.. you keep expecting something to fall on the kid! an apple of a bunch of flowers! he he.. strange imagination huh? ;-)
thanks for your comment on my floral shot.. you made me really think about what u said here.. maybe the reason I kinda fail with flowers usually is cuz I think about it in a very technical way, instead I should go with my gutts and feelings.. I mean I never thought about the symbol of this shot!!! I just focused on having the right DOF and focusing on the texture..! thanks a LOT for the tip :)

The grain is wonderful to me but then ask me about grain - when I shoot grainy film I go all the way with it!!
The comp here is wonderful and if it were mine, I might press it slightly further and crop in a bit more from the left and bottom and drop her even more into the corner so it is about her face and the light and dark shadows beyond - right now I find her clothes a tad distracting but that would be my style!! ;)

B&W works really well with it, I haven't noticed any grain at all. I really like the pose because its unique and expresses a lot of fun.
Great photo, well done...

Hi Stefan, I do not see a lot of grain here - in fact there is good detail in the highlights which is unusual for 400 speed film shot in bright light. I prefer this film for less contrasty subjects and not for direct sun. But because the film was underexposed and then pushed in development you were able to hold the detail. Years ago my mentor who taught me black and white photography routinely rated tri-x 400 at 650 when shooting outdoors. You might not have to push it one full stop, because there is latitude in printing the negative.
I am glad you are still intrigued with aspects of Katie's twirling shot. The clue to your question is in the combination of strobe and tungsten. In a darkened room with only the tungsten light to iluminate the model and a non-reflective surface (black-velvet) you will get the blurred image between the strobe flashes with the lens open.
In the same way, if you do a single image at a slow shutter speed in low light, you will get a blur around the figure, provided there is some other light directly hitting the model. You could try this outdoors at night with a moving subject. Use a focus light in front and city lights behind at 1/15 or 1/8 for starters.
This is a darling shot and maybe you will try another soon with a motion blur. Cheers, Leora.

What a great model you have... such expressive faces and poses... and natural!!! I can't help but smile when I see this! (although a little less up-the-nose-looking would be good as well! hahahahaha
Anyways thanks for sharing!

truly the only thing that would attempt serious to improve the illumination and the shades I see too white, I like the grain.
