Old Service Station

I shot this one last fall, on my way home from Drumheller.  It was in mid-October, and the last few leaves were still hanging on.  I shot this with my Ebony view camera and a wide 90mm lens.  I used a #8 Yellow Filter to deepen the value of the sky, and add contrast.  I didn't want to get as extreme as a Red filter would have taken things, as that would have darkened the shadows a lot, and lost some of the detail in the front wall of the old service station.  The film was Ilford FP4 4" x 5", developed in Perceptol developer.  I find that this combination yields a little softer image, and I quite like the result in this instance.
