One night, while waiting for a family member on a rainy wintery night, I tried a cinematic shot or two.

The great thing about having friends who enjoy photography is that you have someone to share your images and your creativity with.

Film Noir motive and got a few of us out on a short but very enjoyable night photo walk.

Conventional and conservative wisdom repeatedly emphasises "Image Quality" above all other aspects of the image. I decided to shoot this series with old gear, with an emphasis on nice tones, potentially old style focus fall off but not necessarily exceptional ISO noise, autofocus or viewfinder. I needed the images to be attractive but was quite happy to put IQ considerations in the back seat. I enjoyed the exercise and the results.
