Wow, that contrast is fantastic Pflitz. Very vivid, and crisp.
What does stand developing do for an image as opposed to standard agitated developing?
Ummm,, to be honest, I'm not sure, short of not having to blow my highlights due to over agitation. I've only been messing with film now for a year or so. This is a straight scan. No post work at all short of removing a dust spot. Some of the more seasoned guys/gals might be able to help answer your question.Quote:

Have you tried this with D-76?

Here is an image from Indian Flats Falls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's a beautiful set of falls located about 4 miles from the trailhead. I had the perfect day for it...overcast just following a rain. Under these conditions the greens in the park can really take on a surreal color.
While they are beautiful to look at, I find the falls a bit difficult to photograph. To the left of the falls is a very dark cave and I have yet to find a composition that does not include this cave. Even on color negative film, you'll notice that the cave is completely black and several areas of the falls are completely blown. Quite honestly, I'm not too bothered by this, but maybe next time I'll shoot it on Ilford Delta 100 and see if that gets it all...I'm pretty sure it will.
This was shot on 4x5 Kodak Ektar 100. Exposure was two and a half minutes at f/32; I used a warming polarizer to help give it some life in the overcast weather. Scanned on an Epson V700. C&C welcome and appreciated.
I like that you included the foreground rocks, it's not a choice I probably would have made but it works really well here.Quote:

Nice Image with good composition and exposure.
The challenge is the shadow area to the left where you lose all detail other than the water. I might have chosen different lighting circumstances where that area is more illuminated. Otherwise, a slightly longer lens and vertical shot focusing using the same foreground and focusing on the two spills where shadow details are not an issue.
Thanks for sharing.
