The Other Side
When leaves are green the scrubby shrubs and saplings that surround this oak block any view of it, at least from this angle. Around here, March is dull and muddy, but at least you can see some things that are hidden in the warmer months.
I wanted to work on development times for Arista Ultra 100 in stock Xtol. I usually develop this film in Rodinal, but in recent years Xtol has become my main developer. This roll came out pretty good, but compared to what I usually get with Rodinal it was a bit flat in contrast and a the grain was a little muddy. I may have overdeveloped it a little, so I can't really recommend the times below. It still came out fine with a little post processing.
Pentax 6x7, 75mm f4.5, Arista Ultra 100, Xtol, Stock, 6.5 min @ 20C. Cropped to square.
