I like number 1, and a great title. Those are some really tight, shiny (and see-through?) trousers those two are wearing

Some great views and scenes there, Kris. The first shot above is a great one, too.

What a productive trip, Kris! One and five are the standouts for me.
Best wishes,

Grainy, please! This may be because Rollei Retro film is relatively insensitive to blue light and that combined with the polariser may have bought out the grain. On the other hand, I may be talking rubbish...Opening one is a belter. I've noticed with your sets that you post, the opening image is always the best one

Personally, I'd rather have a grainy sky with some interest than a completely bland one which, sadly, characterises most of my Venice images.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I could probably do something if/when I scan the image to a higher resolution myself. This is from the lo-res commercial scan and I don't think there is enough information to play with.True, its better with detail and grain rather than bland and empty but could it be tweaked slightly in Lightroom etc. just to scale it down a little :

Really nice set. 4 and 1 are my picks but for me the grainy sky doesn't quite suit the scene in the first.

These are great. I like the contrasty look you have achieved. The first is a peach, but I rather like the 'alleyway' pic too. Have been shootign a bit of film myself recently on a bit of a whim but nothing like these - so these are inspirational to me
