Hard and soft

There is something about film for me.Is it the look? IsIs it the look? Is is the process? Is it the though? Is it the malleability?I took this back in January when I was visiting a friend of mine. We got together later in the day on a chilly Sunday afternoon in January. The sun was starting to get low in the sky; not that it ever really gets high in the sky in January in Seattle.Loading the Delta-400 into the Leica M7 I decided to shoot it at ISO 800 and push the film in development.The picture here is a silly and mundane picture to take, objectively. Based on the look I'm guessing this is taken with a 28mm Summicron wide open at f/2.0. Shutter speed is unknown -- a guess would be around 1/100s.There's a look to it though that I simply like to look at. It's organic.The grain is there. The light is there. It's a stupid still life of a stupid subject.But I like it.There's some of the harshness of the grain. The details of the foreground. Melting into the background's gentle rendering of the yard.I wouldn't have taken this shot if I wasn't pushing to get through a roll.I'm happy I did.
