Thanks. It's a scan with no adjustments. Crappy scanner too

Looks really good for 3 stops under.

Nice photo, good contrast.
You should push film more often.
Would only be a problem if you had strong high lights, which would of been blown out, because the tones were more even you just got a bit more contrast than you would of before.

Actually, FOUR stops under, according to me. Low contrast scenes allow for this if you overdevelop. - David Lyga

I think what saved me was the extra development time. It was almost twice the time recommend for PanF. I'll be more careful from now on.

There was nothing there in the scene that was really capable of being blown out. The contrast range was amenable towards exploiting this 'safety factor'. - David Lyga

Great photo but you must be wrong about it being PanF. Isn't this the contrasty, temperamental film that is like nitro-glycerin. You look at it sideways and it blows up in your face

@pentaxuser That's only when you use it on a sunny day, and shoot it at film speed, and then develop it correctly. Other wise you end up with what I have, PanF @ 400 D76 1+1 for 11:30 min.
I'm interested to see what a print will look like. Maybe tomorrow.
