Another grainy, crappy shot from the first roll of Fomapan Classic I ran through my Konica Autoreflex TC SLR. But the film wasn't at fault - the graininess was caused because some of the negatives, all the shots I took outdoors, were overexposed by snow and bright sunlight and to get the scanner to see them, I had to really adjust it. Doing so picked up all the grain. Most of these shots turned out terrible like this, but they begin to grow on me a little....

And I finished the developing process by soaking the negatives in Kodak Photo-Flo 200 for about 1 minute with moderate agitation.
