Truck Cab

This is another image from that recently processed batch of Kodak T-Max 100.  This was another of those expired ReadyLoad packets that I had with me.  I was on an outing to western Alberta with Arturo and Chris, and we were visiting three hotels for the Beer Parlour Project.  Most of the film holders that I brought along were loaded with T-Max 400 and HP5... the two films that I push to higher speeds and use for photographing patrons in the bars.  So I took along some ReadyLoad packets for any daylight shooting that presented itself.  

At one point on our trip we were able to stop at an abandoned industrial site and it was there that I was able to photograph this old truck cab.  Those film packets expired in 2009, so over 15 years ago, but are obviously still yielding good results.

This sheet was rated at 80 iso and developed in 510 Pyro.  I shot this on October 5th at about 12:00 noon.  I used my Ebony view camera and a long 250mm lens.  I wanted to get in tight on the subject, and allow the background to fall off.  A #11 Yellow Green Filter lightened the tone of the truck body a little and slightly increased contrast.  The Exposure was for 1/8 second at F12.
