Gee whiz! I'll have dig up some 1954 negatives from the archives. The normal practice was to "push" the Tri-X for all the low light we could capture. It was only successful part of the time, available light being very hard to judge and light meters are useless on the street at night. I'll vote for No 1 in this series. The dark is deep and few highlights. Almost the tonal range of charcoal drawing. Grain is part of the game. Sometimes you are forced to accept it and sometimes it adds to the effect.
