Here's my first roll of BW film and I don't even have a film cam. Here goes:

Interesting ... how did you add that grain?

I was trying to create a high contrast and grainy effect image. I managed to emulate the grain effect by sharpening the noise and adding a tiny bit of PS noise. PS noise is too "smooth" and not film like and has this white cloud over the image which I didn't like. Maybe there are some plug-ins out there that simulate film noise.:D
