Hello, John.

I just revisited the website after a long absence. I found your thread and have read all the postings to it. They are a fascinating diversity of stories! There seem to be some very interesting characters among FADU's members.

Now I am champing at the bit, to see your photos: it seems like your concerns about the effects of temperature on the film were unfounded.

Images as promised (I actually had forgotten).

The 1st image is Grimsel Pass but what is amazing is the lorry close to bottom right side and painted red is a 40 ton articulated vehicle and took perhaps 20 minutes to reach the top.

Reichenbach Falls near Meiringen in Switzerland has a claim to fame in the Conan Doye books with Sherlock Holmes. Thuis is where there was a fight to the death with Holmes' arch enemy Professor Moriarty.

Risstall starts off in Bavaria and crosses the border into Austria with no way out except to climb the mountains at the back. Where I am is about 2000 feet up and the big peak at the the back is another 9000 feet higher.

My idea of Humour a very clever welded construction on the Grimsel pass summit.

Image 5 is the dreaded Stelvio Pass where I was 'bumped by the dutch car driver. This the north side coming from Austria. 48 hairpin bends up and 32 going down. Thickish cloud so you cannot see them all.

All taken on either Poundland Agfa film (in desperation) or Fuji Superia with a Nijkon F6 and a 28/70 F2.8 Nikon lens. Then developed in Digibase C41. A little work with CS4 but not a lot needed

Stelvio again on the south side heading down towards Switzerland. A much better road but there are herds of feral goats the size of Shetland ponies have a liking to gather in the galleries in poor weather. heaven help anyone who hits one - the goat will come off best.

Many thanks for posting your photos from your trip, John. Truly beautiful scenery!
At present I have no facilities to process my own film: I am still living in the US and use a lab in Southern California. But, as someone getting back into film photography, I am learning whatever I can about home processing from people like you, to prepare myself for when I can actually do my own processing.
Thanks again!

Wow! that is a great set of images.

Sorry to hear the trip was not as straight forward as you were expecting.
