Nikon FE with Tri X stopped right down. Sometimes you just need some grain.

Nikon FE with Kodak Tri-X, shot stopped right down in Clisson — because sometimes you want grain, not despite it. Tri-X at box speed with a small aperture gives a dense, deliberate quality; the grain structure is coarser than HP5+ and reacts differently to flat light, producing a heavier, more graphic rendering. The basket’s weave becomes an exercise in tonal compression — light and shadow reduced to simple geometric shapes.
