Beautiful photo Brian. What is Viradon? I really like the "plummy" tone.

Thanks! Viradon is a polysulfide toner made by Agfa. It is available from Freestyle in CA. I works absolutely beautiful with Ilford MGWT. You have to use in a well ventilated area though, it does smell and can ruin unexposed film and paper. I suggest you try some!

This has got what Barry Thornton wrote for the cover of his book 'Edge of Darkness': "The art, craft, and power of the high-definition monochrome photograph".

Beautiful Brian! Wonderful composition! I really missed going to the Outer Banks this year.

I haven't been the the Banks since my honeymoon in 04. Brings back memories of standing before the shark jaws and imagining a gruesome fate.

this print conveys the warmth of a nice day in OBX. I was always attracted to the old life saving station on the south side of the bridge, but the fence surrounding it limited the photographic potential. Now I see that it is being renovated. Another ruin ruined!

Dan, yes I always liked that saving station too, and did get a chance to photograph it once from outside the fence. I did finally see this year that they are renovating it, which is a good thing, but I still a bid saddened and wish I would have gotten a better opportunity to photograph it before.
