Good Morning, Everyone!

I thought I'd share a shot from my 8x10 camera (affectionately known as the "Green Monster") that I rather liked:

The film was Efke 25, developed in Rodinal 1:100. I printed it on Arista.edu FB VC paper in Photographer's Formulary 130 (Ansco 130).

I'm still getting the hang of contact printing, and I need a better darkroom, but results like this definitely make it all worthwhile.

C&C always welcome!

Nice shot Chris.The engine almost looks like it's not real- at least to me which intrigued me at first look.--charliezap

Amazing - I dig the 3-D look and how the engine pops out from the background. Just beautiful B&W.
