Chris, very fine feeling of light and place.

Thank you!

I spent a lot of time at Borderlands went I went to college in Easton (Stonehill College), the nearby sheep pasture is a good place for photo opportunities as well..

Yes for sure. Close by for me which is nice.

John. Nice start. I'm new to 4x5 format I find it frustrating at times. Very fiddly. Your shot of the tree is composed nice but seems a little "muddy". Not sure if that's in the negative or with the post processing.

Chris: I like the scene, very rustic looking. Seems a little over exposed. Nice shit.

Thanks Alan! I think I've been developing too cold, probably 15C or lower, and am planning to warm things up to 25c or so going forward. I agree it's muddy and lacks a bit of contrast. Thanks for the encouragement mate! I have 24 sheets loaded up for a long weekend away, hoping to get through most of them

Instead of such a large temperature jump just go to 20C and see how it works for you. That temperature is the general standard for B&W film processing. Going much warmer may find you with such short developing times you introduce even more problems.

Well I cheat. I have a lab do my developing.

I shot this in early spring when the leaves on the trees were still quite a light green. I used a yellow green filter to increase the effect. Shot with a 75mm 5.6 Super Angulon FP4+ in DDX.

Well done, Tobias.
