Description
This is what a print looks like after Snappy Snaps ruins the negative and then tries to edit it 3 times to get it looking decent.I really liked this one - it's a shame it was messed up, but I don't think it looks too shabby now.
Tri-X 400, Nikon EM

lovely photograph. i like grainy vignetting. is that what snappy snaps did? if so, it was worth it for this shot...

Nah, Snappy Snaps ruined the negs and therefore gave me weird prints. They then edited them twice and this was the end result. This would have come out a LOT better had they not ruined the negs
I'm glad you like this though

This is great, it reminds me of those old British postcards from Brighton and Blackpool in the 50's. Plus its Tri-x and shot with a EM, whats not to like. Also most high street shops are geared for c-41 colour film, not B&W. Believe me I managed a one hour photo for a year and trained in dozens of staff, 95% of people that work in those places don't know shit.
Also get your self some Kodak D-76 Developer, some stop bath, and fixer. Block out the window in your bathroom, and here's a website that will tell you the rest. [link]
You'll smell real good as well when you use this stuff. :wink:

Thanks for your comment and for the info 
In the meantime I'll be going to a 'proper' lab to get my b&w stuff done! No more high-street rubbish.

not bad considering the trauma it has been through.
However...the noise? is that due to the mangled processing or, other factors?

you make it sound like the noise ruins it.
i personally think the noise adds a quality to the photo that would be lost without it.
with the noise it feels like this picture is old and gives the whole scene a different atmosphere. if it were crisp and clear i don't think it would be quite the same.
