Awesome
Fantastic shot. Seeing great tone and rich blacks like this makes me long for the wet darkroom. This shot printed up on a rich Ilford fiber based paper about 20" square would be outstanding. I love the way you exposed and kept the white flash area to a minimum and kept detail in the hood and enough background for context. You might burn down that white vertical stripe to the left coming out of the beam. Slight nit on a great shot.
Photogbiker, have you heard of a program called Exposure? Its made by a company called Alienware and it is in its 3rd release now. I think it is pretty steep at $250 but it has a lot of film presets that are supposed to be really really good imitations. You might look into that. That being said, the above image was edited with Lightroom to get the image I wanted. I've flagged this one for printing for sure.
