Hydrangeas. Seneca Improved 8x10, Sironar-N 210/5.6, 18x24 UM-MA in HC-110 dil H (5:40 at 21C).
I'm still trying to figure this film out. I'm rating it at 125, developing now at 6:00 at 20C in dilution H (1:63). The images come out pretty contrasty. I've seen other people rating this film at 50 or lower. I'm going to ice the developer to slow down the process a bit. I've seen someone use a 1:119 or something wacky dilution, might try that.
Overall, though, becoming more comfortable in 8x10 world. Again. Finally.
Thanks for looking.

Glorious! Maybe a bit less development would do the trick if contrast is too high, but the tones in this image are pure velvet.
Re: NOT a Rose!
The photo is awesome and your process impeccable, you may try as you say and compare but you are pretty close.
Enjoying your photos greatly!!

Thank you both! Such nice comments - I appreciate it very much.
Julio, I've already started backing off and slowing down development to see if I can get on the good side of the contrast issue. I'm also figuring out how to scan this stuff, which is quite a bit different than FP4+. Still learning.
