KevinFRK comments on Autumn in the City

Interesting and quite effective choice to have such dark sides to the photo and a central golden strip. I like the way you can see the detail in the sides if you pay attention. I'm guessing the sky was over-exposed in this photo - did you try extracting a bit more detail from it (e.g. a hint of cloud shapes) as, to me, as the lack of detail feels a bit out of keeping with the rest.

The sky was indeed quite over-exposed.

I take these photos on film, so the dynamic range is not quite as wide as with digital, and getting the exposure right remains tricky

Ah, I missed that it was actual film - which I think increases my respect for your result, film being much less forgiving!

Out of interest, film you develop yourself, or just an apparently very sympathetic shop?

Thanks! I did some minimal digital editing afterwards, but I try not to "cheat" too much when shooting on film.

I have them developed at CameraNu.
They have a service for developing and scanning photos on film, and the actual machine to develop colour film happens to be located at the Eindhoven branch.

So I can bring in a roll and the scans get sent to my email within two hours.

Edit: I'll upload the original scan when I get home, so you can be the judge as to whether I cheated 😄
