Old effect on digital

I like the mood of old film. I don't know why, even after years the same reaction of feeling is stil the same when looking at one. The use of digital based sensors has made lots of photos to be much sharper (or 'sharpened' by the in-camera processing, anti-alias) with wider dynamic range where dark areas are brightened and bright areas are darkened to get the details. But the thing is, the human eye looks at the world with an object in focus rendering everything else insignificant. Added by emotion, the atmosphere of the scene becomes unique.

So let dark be dark and give just enough light.

And this is how I rendered the scene this morning, shot on a digital camera lent by a friend (Nikon P300) and post processed with Radlab to reconstruct the feeling/emotion that I felt when I took the shot.
