Looks like a good start; the fp100-45c is an excellent choice of film for testing things out, but is too high contrast to adequately capture the highlights here. The negative has more contrast if you kept it. Next time you're on this route and are confident in the camera's function, B&W or color negative film, especially a B&W developed in a pyro developer, would have the full range of light from deep shadows to detailed highlights.

Riverman, I love both of those. Fantastic.

I did Just didnt get around to process film sheets yet. Want to accumulate few more before plunging into dark room.

I shot this scene on instant, then on film , then on digital sliding back.

I agree about instant being a bit odd with highlights.. Plus i just dont like 3200. I used to "slower" film speeds, and in fact everything else i shoot is rarely above 100, so it was halfhearted to tell the truth.

Thanks for the positive comments on my two images. Both were shot on Provia on a recent trip to Death Valley with Michael Gordon. To anyone interested in exploring DVNP I would heartily recommend one of Michael's private workshop/tours. Tremendous value.
