Dominic's Hands for the deviantArt WeeklyFotoChallenge.

 

Flower Head Folks at Heroes Brewing a few weeks ago. It was Dominic's birthday. I took a series of photographs of him, which he apparently enjoyed.

 

This was a test roll. ASA 400 just isn't fast enough for indoor photography of moving subjects. The HP5+ film box had instructions for developing it at ASA 1600, so I decided to give it a try. I was pleased with the results. It is fussy about lighting, but when the lighting is right it works beautifully.

 

This is only lightly edited from what came off the scanner. I slid the low end of the curves to the right to make the blacks black, made a pass with an unsharp mask, and cleaned up the minimal dust spots.
