I'm also sad to see Neopan 400 go. Have you found a replacement for it?

In the 50's and 60's you had to be good if you wanted to step into a recording studio. On the other hand, many artists nowadays are rushing to record their music simply because they can, not because they're ready to make art.
Below is one of my favourite quotes on this topic from one of the best audio techs in the business:
"The truth tends to work better with these people (Frank Zappa, Stevie Wonder), since they spent a lifetime crafting a unique sound. I've seen the color thing used more commonly with acts that don't have the talent or ability of the great people. Some engineers are turning a mouse into a man, fattening up a track that's shitty and making a player sound better than he really is.The people I work with don't need to be better than they are — they just need the world to hear how good they are." - Jim Williams

Here's the difference. While effects can be added at any stage during the recording / mixing process, it takes an artist who 'knows their sound' to print FX to tape.
Not too long ago I worked with a band who were keen to record their EP in my all-analog studio. Although they had experience recording in digital studios before I knew they weren't ready for tape after seeing them play live on a couple of occasions. When it came time to lay down the guitar tracks it quickly became apparent that the guitarist didn't know his sound. After trying all kinds of FX pedals and reverbs, the guitarist gave up tinkering in the hope that I could make him sound like a rock star in mixdown using all kinds of PP.
While they could get away with it in the digital realm, there's no where to hide on tape.

Making adjustments pre-photo requires you to commit to your convictions and accept the outcome regardless of the result. You have taken a leap of faith, trusting in your own judgement as a photographer. Adding a starburst effect in PP does not require any commitment from the artist as nothing is irreversible.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback.
Where did you happen to get your hands on Neopan 400? Really keen to try some myself. Looks like Tri-x but with deeper, richer blacks.

Can't recall, but most likely was at the minimum focusing distance of 45cm.

Cheers. Actually that shot was a leap of faith. The scene was too tight for me to frame it through the viewfinder, so I sat the camera vertically on my lap, set focus to around 2m distance, angled it upwards and wished for the best.

First time shooting Delta 400. I'm loving the skin tones it produces. It also yields sharper and higher resolution images than HP5+. Shot on my 1958 K with Auto-Takumar 55mm f2. Developed in D-76.
