Nice images. Wonderful tonality. You're right about temperature. It can
really come back to bite you. It was never a problem for me when I lived
in a cooler climate. But since developing in a warmer climate I noticed
that it can get away from me if I'm not careful. I keep ice handy for
the waterbath, which I never had to do before. Even a material temp
difference between dev and stop or stop and fix can cause problems. Not
necessarily reticulation, but grain can get ugly. I once assumed that
grain wouldn't change because stop stops everything. That doesn't seem
to be the case.
