 Still image I had in mind based the old movie based on H.G. Wells' novel. I found this DVD cover later which uses pretty much the same view:

Low-light conditions match the mood of the film, but require very high ISO setting leading to lots of digital noise. I decided that for a scene based on an 80 year-old movie a bit of grain in a B&W image was OK, so I didn't do any noise-reduction, which would have killed what little sharpness/detail I was able to get with the slow shutter-speed.

So did you make this photo so grainy because it's 1933 or? also it's lacks contrast

Creative use of TP. I don't care for the added noise, it doesn't give the vintage feel I think you were going for.

Pretty funny actually, and I get the noise/grain meant to place the photo in the 1933 era. Not really sure how it will be received overall, but I like it anyway. More creative than most that I've seen so far.

Very inventive and nicely edited. The graininess is perfect, and legal I hope :-)
