This "simple" photo has fantastic detail and sharpness, and lovely fade toward the water. Just eye-popping. I've never tried PMK, but it sounds interesting. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! If you haven't used any of the pyrogallol developers before, you lose a stop on higher faster films, it's to do with the fact it's a staining developer. On slower films like FP4+ 125 the loss is minor, i shoot it at 100 and I believe with films slower or equal to 100 ISO, you can shoot at box speed. But I think it's a wonderful developer that really helps bring out the detail (the Summaron also helps!). Send me a message if you decide to use it and need any help. Oh, the other advantage is that it apparently lasts for years in concentrated liquid form and it's extremely economical. Cheers

Now I can appreciate the expression: "This is really crushing it!"

This is the largest of the Nazi concentration and death camps Auschwitz Birkenau, located in southern Poland. More then one million people lost their lives there..

Ran a recently rolled short length of bulk HP5+ through my A-24 magazine on the rear of the SWC.

Was annoyed when I processed it yesterday to find it "thin", as in a couple of stops thin. Maybe time to throw out the R09 that is nearly done anyway, maybe my frugality finally beat me

Drove past this farmer giving his horses some exercise the other day a short distance from our home.

Oh dear, I see you've been hanging out around Ocean Park again...

A very apt, well considered and well-constructed homage to Diebenkorn. I hope all lives and property in the Three Rivers region, as elsewhere in the USA, are spared from the dreadful threatening fires.

I agree with your judgement of films developed with staining developers. They can give outstanding graduation, fine grain etc. When I used them, years back, (mainly Moersch Tanol and Finol) I unfortunately found that the intensity and colour of the stain was different each time (and of course with each different film type) no matter how well I tried to control my development parameters, using destilled water etc. These differences did not matter for scanning, but as the stain has some colour, it affected my metering and printing on multigrade paper in unexpected and unpredictable ways. I also am not sure about the archival qualities,  the silver will probably outlast the stain by a few generations. Likely I will not be around when that happens, but my eternal fame as photographer may be impacted ... 😁

Had never thought about the archival aspect. Will do some research!
