Most impressed with the quality you have obtained from Barry's two bath. I tried it myself a few years ago and I can't recall getting anywhere near this! Excellent use of DOF to make the post stand out and the post is well positioned to place it as the main component in the image but at the same time giving it some space and keeping a relationship with the bridge. Nice lighting too.

That's beautifully three-dimensional, too.

Bill, the big file has a lot of impact. You have a good dev/camera combination there and I hope to see some more examples soon :-)
Cheers,
Neil.

Neil, thanks, for $27 in raw chemicals, I can make developer
for 3-4 years, certainly economical. I've ordered more of the
Delta 100 (have some rolls of Acros 100 I need to shoot) and
am looking forward to shooting more of this film. The above
was a test shot for rangefinder focus, and here are a few
more from the roll:
f16, infinity:

f5.6, Muscovy duck:

These aren't worthy to post in the gallery, but am encouraged
to shoot these folders more often.
Thanks again.
Bill

Bill, the other two pics show the quality obtainable that's for sure. You posted the best one but I quite like the pigeon image. Keep with that camera / film / dev combo - it works :-) I also make up the odd developer or two and are about to head back that way as I enjoy playing around with the chemicals and getting the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Neil.

Hello, Bill. Excellent as always. Like the thin dof and superb tonality. Thornton's quality never cease to amaze me.
Cheers, Marty.

Richard, Neil, and Marty, thanks for your comments. The
Thornton's is easy to mix and seems to work well with anything--if you don't have to push the film.
Thanks again.
Bill
