'Minimalism' in the Mist!

My Town Brentwood had a lot of MIST so as a 'Keen Snapper' I rushed out -- this time I chose my lovely 'Gift' ASAHI PENTAX Spotmatic F as I had not used it for a while -- I got HUGE GRAIN but I think it is 'Artistic' !

The grain does not detract from the image quality, but you must have developed the negative for eons to get that much. (The age of the Tri-X does not, by itself, bring about more grain.) - David Lyga
 
Good one! The grain's nice, too.
 
I used the recommended time as on the Massive Dev Chart and it was also the same 13 mins on the side of the Promicrol plastic bottle so I think it was being so 'Old' and not stored correctly ( I was GIVEN the film) the 'Fog Level' has risen and Promicrol has 'Forced' the grain -- on the second half of the film ( I CUT it ) I will try my 'Home-Made Microphen Formula as I saw it gave less Fog Level on some old Kodak P3200 film compared with Promicrol liquid.
 
Beautiful. Reminds me of @awty's style. I mean it as a compliment.

I love misty landscapes, but I have to wait until winter (it's 6 months away here) and get up early.
