Finally got the black and white's scanned. I love this film; after using Kodak CNBW 400 for the last 4 or 5 years, I just realized how much sexier the contrast is with Ilford XP2. I have a new favorite!
What I don't love is my film scanner; the Nikon Coolscan IV ED. For some reason, I can't get the black and white points to come out properly, so I have to do a LOT of post work in Photoshop to get my contrasts looking good.
Also, the Digital ICE (repairs scratches and dust on a negative) doesn't work, so I'm in these images with a 3 pixel brush knocking out scratches my (admittedly dirty) Nikon N80 leaves.
Anyhow, hope you like! Critique as you will.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
