    Superb shot John…there is something about prints and film that digital can’t quite match

      Thank you. I agree, film has something special and despite the inconvenience I enjoy the whole process from shooting to printing. Thanks for commenting. John

      I call it ‘soul’. As good as a digital shot may be, I only see the image. With film, it feels like I’m seeing the image and the person who took it.

      Thanks Nigel. I’m quite pleased with the print (9″x9″ on Ilford’s finest paper!) but it took some work to keep the shadow detail. Pan F was the wrong choice of film for such a contrasty scene.
