I tried using grain to get a more painterly effect, similar to what John seems to be after, but in color. Shot at ISO 400 and added film grain in PS too.
BTW, it's fairly easy to remove the color from digital noise/grain in PS while retaining the image colors and overall granularity.

I guess some expect a photo to be clean cut. NO grain, no tilt, perfect in other words. That is how I felt a year and a half ago, but as I grow my attitude changes. I think of it as a learning curve.
I really like some grainy photos. I think it helps tell a story or helps show the viewers what the picture is actually saying.
I think I landscape shot should be with out grain. I know I am just weird that way.
I like you shot, John. Grain and all.
I took a shot this past challenge and it didn't do to well. I am not sure if it was the grain or maybe folks didn't take the time to look within the shot and try to figure out what I was saying or trying to show.
here it is.

Decided to play around with this yesterday:
One at ISO 100
and one at ISO 1000
and a more literal view, again at ISO 1000
All had very similar processing applied - the second shot at ISO 1000 is much punchier than the first at ISO 100.

Very nice shots Gordon. Particularly like the last one.
Maybe it's just having edited ISO 1600 shots all afternoon, but there seems to be a fairly small amount of grain? Maybe it's because my eyes are naturally drawn to the parts in focus (more detail, so less noticable)..
Either way, good work. :-)

It is interesting, I like the last one the least :) The D60 is pretty grain free, even at ISO 1000. Also, I guess I was artifically using the high ISO so I was getting shutter speeds up around 1/250s which no doubt keeps it to a minimum.
