VOTE: Is this photo good for Nighttime?

Voting open until 7 October 2008. Tell a friend!

My friend, Craig, on a fine night of debauchery, repenting his sins, suitably, by creating, somehow, this fine Celtic Cross, with hand and broken lamp, to remind him of his youthful indiscretions! Indeed, to remind us ALL!

This pic is outside, believe it or not, on a porch in Austin, Texas, on the open, back room of a pub, replete with rug and wood flooring. We stole the lamp from the bar top for the pic.

For those who care - Tri-X, in Mamiya C330. Scanned.

Amazing shot, almost feels like we're viewing this scene from behind a figure and between their legs (Western Style)

The old C-330. Years ago i used a C-3. And you are correct: Tri-X rules. I process it in Acufine sometimes for the push to ASA 1200. It is great with grain, too. I use D-76 regularly.
