HP5+ shot at ISO 200, developed for 8 min in ID-11 at around 19C, shot in a Pentax Z20 with Sigma 70-300. (Phew - what a description).

I'm still not reliable with film developing... some kind of sediment stuck to it this time!

This is a great image, Steven. Simple yet bold and effectively composed. (That set of spots on the lower right look like they are embedded in the barely-perceptible trail of a dried water mark.)

Thank you! I was quite taken with how it came out. Developed last night at the kitchen sink, scanned this morning.

Watermarks are my nemesis... I did rinse twice in demineralised water too.

Have you tried a drop or two of dishwashing liquid in the final rinse water? (Or you can get "Photoflo" or something like that in concentrate.)

Yep! Not on this roll, as it never seemed to help much. Maybe I should splash out on Photoflo...

Great shot Stevenson. Seeing this put a smile on my face particularly as I was playing around with a similar subject a couple of months ago and in a similar fashion. Great minds 'n' all that.. There's a kind of 'industrial elegance' to pylons and similar high voltage power transmission kit.

Well... I took this one a couple of months ago!
But yes, I like the industrial elegance.

Yes, a crack(l)ing shot!

It sparked my interest, Rob.

Indeed, Brian, watts not to like? I'm much in favour of this current flow of thinking, all very positive.

. Indeed, one might suffer overload and burn out. I'd better insulate myself from all this, rather than being a conduit for it

I'm positively charged with enthusiasm Ralph! (sorry that one's been used ) The topic resonates with me, causing a very low standing wave ratio at 50Hz that further improves the transmission of powerful ideas.
