Yes film,TriX 400. Not pinhole, Nikon 60mm Micro. Not grass. The description of this shot on my blog reads:

"I shot this a few days ago outside my front door. These are the “threads” of a Washingtonia filifera (filifera – Latin “thread-bearing”, also known as California Fan Palm). I shot this on TriX400 with my Nikon F100 and a Nikon 60mm Micro and scanned it with my Nikon Coolscan 4000. This reminds me of 3D heart sculpture."

You youngens need to get an appreciation for a pleasant does of film grain!!

Thanks guys, including you Fred and Craig!!

I really would like to learn about film-procesing. :)

Ha! Film. I should have known. That's why is looked so great! Ignore my previous dumb comment.

@barbara, Ha! Not only film, but TriX. Almost always "The perfect amount of 'grain'."

@Kolbein, processing b&w negs like this one is super easy and cheap! Kitchen sink and a gallon of distilled water is all you need to have to consider. Basic equipment and chem's will probably run you @50 bucks.

I should really try one day, I borrow a film cam from my dad, an "old" fuji 650 I think it is. Would be fun to try some genuine b&w:)

Congrats, Clyde!! :)

Great this is featured
Congrats Clyde!

Congrats Clyde... I was sure this one would get a feature:)

Thanks to all!! Film is still my fav!! And just look around when you are holding a camera. You never know what you might see. This was shot just outside my door at home. Learn to look big, look small, look around the corner and MOST important, "don't forget to look behind you"!! Great advice from a great friend years ago...

I'm loving the film grain. Nicely toned and relevant image. Congrats!

Congratulations, Clyde!

Congrats Clyde! Superb feature! And love the advice you shared!!

Congrats Beamer!

A friend of mine just gave me an old Minolta SRT 101 and a Kodak Retina Reflex IV with a number of Schneider lenses. I haven't shot with film in decades. This equipment needs some serious cleaning, but I may try some film soon. :)

Congratulations, Clyde!

@Dennis, I still have the SRT 101 I had in college in the '70's, it works fine. You have to use different batteries, but with a bit of carefully cut cardboard they will work just fine. What lens is on it? Mine has the 50mm F1.7. I also have a SRT 102 and a bunch of other Minolta lenses. When I put it all in one camera bag the kit feels like it weighs about 20 pounds! But the lenses are superb!!

Alas, most of the film I shoot now days is with my Nikon FE2, it is very light weight and compatible with the Nikon lenses I have acquired over the past decade.

There's nothing much more fun for me than to walk around with a roll of TriX and a 50mm prime!!
