Taken recently up in Virginia City, near Reno. And No, I wasn't able to visit Reno HiFi on this trip!
I desired an 'old' look and may have succeeded. The shot is of a church and far left, with the flag pole, is a school. I took the photo from the Masonic Cemetery.

When I was kid in high school photography class we played with sepia tone to make our B & W shots look old. Today, folks can make things any color they like with a simple key stroke.
Boy, would THAT have been nice! ;-)
Anyway, I like the shot. Very cool. :-) :-)
The last common B&W photography was Silver Based.
Other metals including Platinum were used with both various degrees of success and finishes possible. Print treatments were common and not can be simulatied in Photoshop in an instant.
I regularly apply a 'cooling' filter to bring out blue sky while not damaging flesh tones or greens.
These days, people learn 'system' which is NOT photography, but rather a series of computer manipulations.
Composition has been back-burnered as a result. It's really too bad that the substitute for someone with a dozen shots of 120 (a film format) vs someone with 16gig of memory is that the film guy will take his time, plan ahead and try to 'see' his shot in advance. This is opposed to the digital learner who will take 400 shots at a time and not be able to figure out what is the good from the bad. Than try to 'fix' stuff in Photoshop, Lightroom or (older) Elements.

I guess "Virginia City" will always make me think of TV's "Bonanza" :-)
all the best,

Yes, I hear 'ya. My expectations were NOT what I saw. I expected Ben and Hoss to come riding down the street at any moment. Instead? I saw an UNENDING line of Harleys which outnumbered all the others put together.
I couldn't imagine spending a summer in that town. OR a winter, for that matter. Take your pick of ROAST or FREEZE. Thousands of cubic yards of Mine Tailings just complete a bleak picture.
