Hi Bruce ... what I wanted in this shot was the high contrast and back lighting to see what kind of latitude the film had, which seems to be pretty good. I shot this @ +/- one stop from what I figured to be the ideal exposure.
I've developed a bit of fascination with the gun shop. Right now there's some construction going on around it, so getting some good pics can be a bit of a problem. Lighting's also an issue. Because of the way the shop's situated (facing N NE), it's mostly in shadow all day. Thanks for commenting. Off to breakfast now.
