Jim,

I think remember to have already see these pictures, but it is a really
pleasure to see them again, a wonderful work.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

I tried 1:2 last summer with some Konica infrared film and what I got were

I'm going out to the island again on Wednesday to try again, but I won't use
D-76 1:2.

But I'll try it in the next few weeks with some Tri-X or Plus-X... I'll
think about adding a Vitamin C tab to it as well.

Jim
