I was bored tonight and started playing around with some processing in Aperture, I was aiming to get that High-Contrast film look. Without overdoing it, too much. One is a reprocess of a shot, the others I took with this technique in mind.

Here are the results, would really like to hear the C&C on these.

(All were shot with my D2x, and Sigma 30 1.4 in ISO 800 for the 'grain'/noise feel)

Really enjoy #1 and #2, however the others don't work for me as I'm not a big fan of tilting my head

Processing in the first works wonderfully, and it's an interesting shot. To really set it off it would have been nice to see the deli operator behind the counter looking towards you or yelling out about his product etc.

The second one is simple, yet interesting.

cheers

The first is great, and the second is not bad also, I think you achieved what you were going for

The last three don't really have the grain/contrast look like the first two.
