The Film: Grain
In the right kind of pictures, visible or even heavy grain can have an amplifying power that fits them like a finely tailored suit. It can be lush. Beautiful. Gritty. Nostalgic.
I don’t make those kinds of pictures. At least on purpose.
And so I’ve just accepted obvious grain as a fact of life with 35mm Tri-X. It usually doesn’t get in the way too much, but if I could reduce it drastically by pressing a button or tweaking a slider, I would do it.
