Superb street shots ! ππ

If you want to enlarge and print, it will take some more, but it is so rewarding.
Sometimes I think taking photos is for me just an excuse to go in the darkroom.
Nice threesome!ππ

-Addicted to the smell of the fixer early in the morning
A bonus one:
-Being 1 hour in the darkroom, has the same effect on me as a full day at the spa for others.
You touched me deep inside with "Welcome to the darkroom".

It looks like a TV add playing when I was young (yep TV existed then), about tanning oil.
But honestly... I like this shot.ππ
I would usually said the one that has been edited a bit. However, here the original appears more natural to my eyes because the "warm" orange tone is more uniform. On the edited one it is like if only half the picture has this warm tone but not the other half.

It means a human spent hours in front of the screen editing it for that level of quality and said "Oh my job is so good let's sell it 10$ to a stock photo agency that will sell it $200". No creativity here, just a copy & paste job. At least AI would have been a good excuse.

Just my opinion, it's worth what it's worth, that is why I give it for free. π
Can't go without re-posting.
And probably a marketing genius said:
-"Bah! it will be fine" or "Nobody will notice".
And that kind of thing is controlling our planes and operate on our brains. I am so reassured.
Some reds appear really red, but some others are brownish. But we have to keep in mind this an experimental film.

Love the one of the couple in the restaurant.
If you put 2 negatives (one that is correctly exposed and one under exposed) on a light table, do they look of the same density? Anyone tried to print one instead of scanning it? Since everybody who got this problem, are reporting it from a scan. It is like if scanners had a problem with the film.
