In the seventies and eighties this stuff was hot and you could not yet do it on a computer. Art directors would pay my day rate for me to go into the darkroom for the two or three days it took to make a complex posterization. They could be as many steps as you were willing to suffer through and the more steps the finer and lacier the effect.   Today I had this roughed out in about two minutes and tinkered with it for about thirty minutes.  The OGR forum site compressed it quite a bit so it looks flatter here than in my computer.  The original shot was made in Birmingham AL. in 1976.  One night about 10pm I heard a steam whistle off in the distance towards down town B'ham so I gathered up the wife and camera drove towards the sound.    Nikon Scan4 software though any software with a histogram will work.      j
