I have a bag of D-11 that I'm going to mix up one of these years and run some Tri-X and HP5+ through. I also have some Microphen. That might do the trick. Rodinal 1:100 may as well be Microdol-X based on my experience recently.

We now return to your regularly scheduled forum.

Nice shot. Waipio Valley is a beautiful area.

Not sure if this fits here in "landscapes" so forgive me.
This is one of teh Caltech radio telescopes out in the Owens Valley.

Taken with my 4x5 P&S camera (Nikkor SW65mm), Ilford FP4 in Rodinal.

That's very cool. I'd love to see it larger.

Fab!
