Wow, these are great

Hi Genster,
They are two of my favourite images. By the way the cloud in the Kangaroo image evaporated just after I took the photo.
Cheers Kanga

Wonderful images and the Rodinal signature grain really stands out. Rodinal is my "go to" developer. Up to now I use 25:1 and 50:1 dilutions. I have seen great fine grain Rodinal images on the Internet using a technique called stand development with Rodinal at 100:1 and development times of one hour. I haven't done it yet, but a I may do so.

Of your two photos, the one with the "Roo"really stands out.

Hi Jevidon,
Thanks for your appreciation. Rodinal is a very handy developer indeed. Lasts forever in the cupboard and can be used for stand development in very dilute concentrations. I have used it successfully for stand development at 500:1 with a 35mm roll of Rollei cms20 ii fine grain film rated at 10iso at 17 degrees Celsius for 2h . See image of hoverfly on Australian Native Fragipani.
