Yes, that is what it looks like. Otherwise there would be at least a trace of black somewhere probably.
Guess I'm officially not shooting enough then.

Yes, that's what I always thought too. I do always see a bit of a drop in strength between a newly opened bottle and one that is open for a few months, but this is really strange.
It's almost impossible for me to mix up the developer and the fixer, since I develop in a daylight tank. The fixer is from a bottle, the developer from a measuring cup. And it was semi-stand developed too, so there has to be at least something, even if the contrast isn't perfect.
Photography was a COVID casualty for me. Just have to do a hard reset with new materials and pick it up again.

This was a double negative that I realized right after I took the shot. I was initially pissed at myself since I was winding down on my available film for this trip. I actually kind of like this one. At first glance the snow capped Grand Tetons look in place behind the rock formations in the Arches National Park. The rainbow was a pleasant surprise at the Arches.
I was able to catch the rainbow with my backup cameras. A 6x6 and iPhone lol, so no tears shed.

This one is a double mistake. First, I used the 2-stop ND filter on my Imagon when I probably would have been better off without it, so it's about 2 stops under-exposed. Then, I didn't know that Adox Rodinal has a 24 month shelf life according to Adox (unlike Agfa Rodinal which apparently lasted for decades), and I did get 5 good years of use out of my bottle. Unfortunately, I bought it 6 years ago, so I lost at least another stop. Rather than do a lot of testing with my remaining Adox Rodinal, I dumped it. Sheet film is too expensive these days.
My wife says it looks "mysterious." I just see a super thin negative barely salvaged by my scanner:

From a recently-completed HABS project in Michigan, file this one under the "missing the elephant in the room" label. How on earth did I not notice my camera gear bags in the foreground? I really have no idea, other than that it was near the end of a long and hot day last summer. Still--years experience does not protect one against the occasional numbskull moment, it seems. So, after a decade or two when NPS gets caught up on scanning HABS/HAER negatives, one of my film holder bags and my digital camera bag will be recorded for posterity in the Library of Congress.

Somewhere, I have a landscape photo with my tripod in it.
Used it for scale--I like it! I think that I will use that, thanks!"It's in there for scale. Yeah, that's the ticket."

Pushed the swings and tilt too much, to pul all the image into focus. I still like the image, the river out from Toughahannock Falls.
