Valiant

This is one of the most photographed cars in Alberta.  This old Valiant sits abandoned beside the old service station in the ghost town of Dorothy.  Lots of tourists and photographers stop by to visit the old churches and the grain elevator in town.  It has been a favorite place of ours for many years as we always used to camp here with our trailer, when the girls were young.

This time around I stopped by while I was out with Fred, Court and Steve from the Monochrome Guild.  We were on our annual fall trip back in October.

This shot was taken on a 4"x5" sheet of Ilford FP4 rated at 100 iso and developed in Perceptol 1:1.  I run Perceptol Developer on my Jobo Processor as the continuous agitation does a better job than hand development at washing out the anti-halation dye from the film.  I ran the batch on November 15th and the development time was 11:15 minutes at 24C.

The shot was taken back on October 16th right around noon.  I used my Ebony view camera and a longish 210mm Nikkor lens.  The exposure was F22.0 for 1/8 second.
