Cool thread. Most of my stuff is film, not digital, but I did just buy a scanner so . . . here some stuff on my desktop.
This actually is my desktop, taken in Japan
My friend. This was shot during Christmas caroling, by candlelight, using TriX pushed to 1600ASA, f1.4 at 1/30. Only a few of the shots from that night turned out, but they have an interesting atmosphere. The crud is from scanning a dusty 8x10.
A girl in my daughter's class. This was a printing challenge. The hooded face was massively under-exposed and low-contrast relative to the white sweatshirt and reflective garbage bag-poncho. I had cut a paper mask the shape of the hooded face, expose the whole image for a short time using a high-contrast filter, place the mask over the face in the print, and expose the image again for a much longer time (16X as much light) using a low contrast filter, while wiggling the mask to avoid sharp lines.
