Thank you so very much for the comments. As soon as I saw the negs hanging to dry, I knew they were "right". This was a spur of Thr moment shoot, stopped on my way to the store, knowing the conditions were just right! It seems to me that I have found a nice development technique - Cooling my developer to below what I'd been using, and pulling back about 30% from recommended times. I think I always err on the side of overexposure, and had been cooking my negatives too long and/or too hot. To Say I'm pleased is putting it mildly - I simply cannot wait to print these in the darkroom!!!'
