It turned out well. I like the creamy white effect from the shutter speed in this shot.
I've done stand development both in 120 roll and sheet film. For me, it's a risk of uneven development. It's hit and miss on the same roll. I've tried different ways and suggestions. But I have observed one natural law. The better the picture, the higher the probability it will have uneven development.
The way I understand it is we agitate film in the first place to replenish exhausted developer along the so-called fluid boundary layer common to the surface of the film. And we agitate in a vigorous enough way to make sure we did that. So for development to happen without doing this means some natural convection occurs or something. I have no clue. But I do think such a process would be delicate and subject to not working "evenly" on large areas of film. When I think of roll film wrapped on my SS reels, I know the gap between wraps can be variable (toughness of the wrap) . Does something like that change the dynamics of it all. I dunno.
