Sorry I did a mistake it was not the shot short bevor blue hour this was the early morning one wich you are see here short bevor the sun gets on the horn at 5:00 and short bevor the clouds came around it!
 
Amazing lump of rock, which is a tad more impressive than Ben Nevis...

Just a few nerdie comments. The image (assuming it represents the print) is rather mid grey. A yellow filter (if you wanted to keep things subtle) might have helped a bit on seperation.

The other point is just an aside. You used Tmax100 I assume? I have found that this film is not ideal (very subjective I know) for this sort of subject where middle zones predominate. I find that it tends to produce fairly flat literal rendition of these mid greys and make the printer work very very hard to bring the image to life. People prob know I am not a great fan of this film (tho it is great where the scene is predominantly very high and very low values i.e techincal modern looking subjects with hard blacks and glinting high values...metal architecture etc). If you are using readyloads I know you have few alternatives (Acros). I still hve 60 sheets of Tmax readyload but will reserve them for my next trip to shoot London architecture. This is just my 2 Cents - you might love Tmax!

Hi Tom

I get not to bad results with the TMX bud the main problem is my old scanner wich is not really up to date, the neg will print easely!
But I would for myself prefer Delta 100 in Readyloads!
Soon I will do a couple of tests on Acros maybe it will be the future one!
 
Tom,
I thought the same way but when I review all my good work, I find that I sent a box of T-max 100 readloads to where ever I'm going and for the ease of Transportation of film and holder. I kept using Tri-x and Efke at home but I found you can get every dramatic shot with it, using HC-110, This will bring your contrast up. I'm now going back to T-Max 400 and trying Pyrocat-HD for the broad tonal range for home work or work where I can take plates with me.
