DeKalb garage, on the way to my office.

Stairs inside a university building.

Something similar with my M4-2... on BW400CN film and with my Hexanon 35/f2 lens.

I admit having to do a bit of Photoshopping on these images, but mostly an exposure adjustment of maybe one stop. Considering that I tend to overexpose, and that I had to adjust the levels only one bit, it's not too bad.
BTW, these are all Walgreens scans off the film I left with them for developing.
More later!
