The Old Timer

That is a very keen portrait of an old, though wide-awake automobile.
Great tonality - more than well done!

Great image, the truck appears to loom out of the shadows and is smiling too!

I love old cars. I like this quite a bit too. The black background is very well suited to this frame. Well done!

First, thanks for the considered comments, gentlemen. I truly appreciate hearing back from my fellow image makers.

Second, I have to apologize for screwing-up on the technical data. I'm just way too tired, is the only explanation. Since I'd posted the image, I was thinking that I might have messed the exposure by not adjusting for reciprocity failure with the Efke. But, doh! I didn't shoot this on Efke, nor did I use the Ansco C-1. (although that combo is what I do the 8x10 work with). No, it was shot on 4x5 with my Tech. V, and Acros. So, of course, there wasn't any reciprocity issue for me to worry about at 2 minutes. (from my experience)

Whew, I'll be able to sleep much more calmly tonight. ;~)

p.s. Of course, I was thinking about Jim Galli while making the image. I might re-shoot this with the Ansco and a beautiful big Heliar that came from a trade with Jim.
