The path less trod

Here's something you don't see that often - a one room schoolhouse, still in use.

I was somewhat surprised at how dark the car turned out. In reality it is painted a bright red. I suppose if I was using an orthochromatic film similar to the cheap Kodak offerings in 1941, it would have turned out light.

This is Lowman, Idaho, a very small town in the woods.

Film: Arista.EDU 100
Camera: Voigtlander Bessa I
"Scanned" using DSLR

Ok, I genuinely believed that it was a scan from an old photograph. I like it

A orthochromatic film would have less density for red, if at all, than a panchromatic one. The car would have turnerd or pitch black or very dark.

Orthochromatic film would have rendered the car black. The dark rendering is quite nice.

Ah yes, I had it backwards. The orthochromatic film, being less sensitive to red, would end up with a black car.
