I have made a dozen images, a few good, some terrible, and most mediocre since December 2012, but have been too lazy to scan. I have learned quite a bit about iodine/bromine balance, mostly from doing dozens of ring-arounds. In this process I also learned that short second iodine times contribute the blue or green color casts which occasionally haunt me.
