The good, the bad, the ugly and the absurd...


Your pics are interesting from a journalistic perspective (pun
unintentional), but the tonal gradation from that 3200 film is
shockingly bad, as is the grain, clearly visible even on the smallish
images.

If I had done a similar walk around a semi-derelict town and came back
with images like those, I would be deeply disappointed.

What do you think of them yourself? Would you use Delta again?

A few I like very much, most I would throw away, more I would like to
re-shoot with a different format something with tilt/shift would be
nice. Some I wished very much I had a color camera that I was
carrying. There had been a fire and a storm was rolling in, so the
sunset was very colorful, looked more like the sky was on fire.

I have shot Delta 3200 since @ 1600 much cleaner and better tonality,
but still grainy as sand. I achieved the effect that I wanted from
this roll, so I got what I wanted, I just didn't like all of it. :-)
