Two things that spring to mind when I see these, other than how nicely composed they are. First, how much I loved Velvia 50. I use the Velvia filter quite a bit when I process raw files in LR. Although at times, I find I have to lower the vibrance a bit. It can be a little TOO saturated at times.
Second, even though the headstones are blown out some, I love the contrast between the highlights and the blacks that the T-max produces.
Hey Leighton thanks. Velvia 50 is indeed tough to shoot with. It can come out way over saturated sometimes. And if one underexposes it the grain's not so nice in trying to post-process..
And yes, I really do need to use the light meter better in the other shot to avoid blown highlights. Might try slower film.

Ken, your pic is very nice but that's not a Benz at all : a Benz is a people candid street 80% black shot taken on the fly and from the hip.
Now I think I get it. My people were behind the wall. 👀
Enjoy the dark alleys of Sydney through your Nikkors!
