Umma Gumma. Rescued.
Not the boat or someone using this boat (which I don't think has moved from here in at least seven years),
but the image*.
Ilford Delta 400 seriously under-processed in 510 Pyro Semi Stand development.
I have traced the problem to my thermometer (30 years old probably, the type with a metal probe and circular dial on top)
suddenly reading 3 degrees too low. Not ideal with a 22 minute stand development.
(*not that the image is worth saving, but I wanted to see what could be retreived).

so now I can print the full frame if I want to. I just need to practise holding the camera straight more often.
