Chinese father looking together with his son at the New Pudong Area and the Pearl Tower from the Bund in Shanghai.

* * *

Taken with Nikon FM2n using 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor lens on Kodak Tri-X 400 film pushed to either 800 or 1600 (i don't quite remember but I think it was 1600). Developed in Agfa Rodinal, 1+100, 20 degree centigrade (developing time can be found at Digitaltruth.com). Scanned from negative using Nikon Coolscan V ED negative scanner.

Hi Pawel,
Brilliant shot, I'm sure this dad would like to have it!
The bokeh and grain are beautiful!

50 mm, f1.4... Wysmakowana kompozycja. Aż się rozmarzyłem. Ciekawe czy i ja za tydzień, jak dostanę takie szkło, będę potrafił zrobić podobnie dobre zdjęcie? :))

Pozdrawiam.

Beautiful, it's both dark and bright, three dimensional.Wonderful bokeh quality of the city lights, thi sone would do even better in a 30*40 format hanging on your walls.

It looks like you take much care about film development, experimenting on different methods, etc. I'm not sure this is the area where to experiment or expect dramatic changes in the outcome (except of cours eif you totally screw the process). More i think is to except from the printing process, trying different developpers, developping in two baths, adding cold/warm tones, etc. (check out Moersch photochemie online store, a real candy store for serious printers ;) ...)
