it looks like the photo just came out that way. there's a lot of grain which is difficult to replicate digitally. i know of a way to do it in a darkroom. you could stretch a nylon over a piece of photo paper and the expose the print. as far as digitally you might want to mess around with some texture filters and adjust the opacity.

To improve this photo first import it in Corel DRAW 11 or 12 than do resample - about 200% don't touch the dpi - save it !Than import photo in Photoshop CS or CS2 - take a magic wand tool -select the portrait - select inverse -delete background to avoid the grain - deselect !Make your own background by painting a new layer ( green and dark green for example than take the action - motion blur tool ) and save it ! Put the portrait on a new layer background! End of story !

First off, it was taken close to 'noon, because the sun is almost overhead. Secondly, I suspect a 50mm or wide angle lens was used due to the depth of field. The graininess can be the result of that being a very small portion of a much larger photo that was blown up (enlarged greatly) because of the increase in grain (or if digital, it is called "noise"). The subject's face is in the shadow; to improve on taking this"portrait" I would suggest the use of a reflector (gold reflector, preferably) or fill light with about -3 EV.

Use any of the computer photo programs, they have filters in them which cause special effects. That looks like someone took a picture through a piece of nylons

You can use the soften filters in Photoshop or other editing software. Some applications have filters that allow you to add graininess. If the main subject of your photo is quite small you can crop it to bring out the grain.

High speed film, maybe pushed a stop or two, will get you the grain. Digitally, you can just add grain in Photoshop or other software. The rest of this shot's distinctive look - washed out highlights, murky shadows, flat midtones, desaturated color, and slightly out of focus - you could do, but do you really want to?

It was probably shot with a fast shutter speed. The background is less well defined and the center of the picture is very clear. My guess is that it was shot at 1/250. 1/500 or possible at 1/1000 shutter speed. I would use a wide open aperture to get maximum clarity in the center and less defined detail in the background.

Hi, I recommand you to try google picasa.
picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera.
It can Edit , organise and Share you picture and small video flips.
It's very easy to use and is free, just like Google

Photoshop CS2 - in the filters section - under Artistic - select film grain (adjust to taste).
Or under filters go to "Noise" and add noise.

I use Gimp. It requires a download.
