These are just some initial scans from my canoscan 8400f, stitched in photoshop. Two of the five photographs I shot on large format. I will develop the rest another time. Developing was fun and didn't seem like such a long and hard task as I imagined. I cant wait to get back in there.
The sky was completely overcast so I didn't use any colored filters though I think I should have used a light graduated neutral density filter. I think what looks like uneven development is just some different toned clouds, though you tell me. Any comments on my developing technique that show are appreciated. I could only find two tiny scratches, one on each sheet. Thank you jmcd for your information on the tray developing technique. These were shot in very heavy wind so all foliage is blurred.

For some reason I felt the sky was too white and tried to burn in a little detail as I would in the darkroom. In photoshop this made the sky grainy and terrible, though it looked fine on that particular computer's monitor - go figure.
In this shot I was just testing the front rise so the subject to sky ratio inst great.
