About
The sun was casting such lovely shadows in my grandparent's pool! I have such fond memories of this pool. I would swim in it before I learned how to walk.
I do have a question about this piece though. It's probably hard to tell looking on a monitor, but the print came out really pixelated. It looked like a low resolution digital or something. It's very obvious over on the metal railing and it's shadow. It's that because of the film I was using (Kodak High Definition ASA 400) or the photo lab (I was low on funds and went to Walgreen's) or other? I have only used this film once before developed at the same place and noticed similar effects. Thanks for looking!
The Walgreen's where I live can only give me 2000x1500'ish scans, which are pretty taxed, to my eye, in an 8x10 print. I do not see the pixellation artifacts in your image on my monitor. Grain effect does not come out as pixellation in a scan. It has a distinct look that is easily recognizable - splurge for an 8-Megapixel scan at a pro-lab sometime and you'll see it. Fine-grain film (Velvia, Ektachrome, Optima) can hold its own at that resolution, but just barely. Sorry for the "lesson". If you plan to do a lot of film-to-digital, find a lab that will give you at least 6-Megapixel scans, and consider pro-grade film. It doesn't cost *that* much more :)
