I developed two of the 5 photos last night. Fp4 in Rodinal 1+25. I hope that 4x5 becomes a long love affair for me, shooting and developing it is fantastic.
I did not use any filters because it was totally overcast, now I wish I had used a GND to take down the brightness of the clouds. In the first photo I burned the sky in photoshop asif I would in the darkroom but it came out grainy. I might make another edit later but these are just test scans from a canoscan 8400, stiched in photoshop.
Please comment on any problems you see in my developing technique, as I think I see some uneven development in the second photo, or perhaps its just the clouds - completely overcast. It is amazing that altogether I found two tiny scratches! The wind was blowing hard so any foliage is blurred in the photos.

This photo is a test of the front rise, not the most interesting subject to sky ratio in the end.
