Ah -- olde rust! Great results there, with that quality of output film will never be dead.

That's impressive. Good light and angle, and on a hand coated plate! I have to wonder about this vehicle - why was it left there, and who was motivated enough to extract the engine!

Thanks, fellas. My kids thought it was pretty cool.

Grahamp: The engine is actually still there.. just sunk into the ground.

DwThomas: Not film, glass plate!

It's a film of vitreous sand bearing a film of silver-based emulsion. I call it an analog film process, regardless of the substrate. (But I didn't say it with that detail because I was keeping it short -- and my caffeine infusion hadn't kicked in .... )

I always love your plates, and this just strikes a resonant chord with sustaining positive feedback. Like @DWThomas , I like anything that smacks rust immortalized on film.
The shimmering soft reflective light off the bumper is amazing here.

Thanks, Michael. You pointed out one of my favorite aspects: the light off the bumper. I think halation really helped here.
