 Awesome is that iron in the water? 
 @dollarparity I am not an expert, but it probably is. I have seen rivers with red water due to the iron in the ground. That was natural and not polluted. I’m not sure if the same applies at this location. 
 I have been quiet here lately because I have been out scouting new photo locations. Today I was at the abandoned mines of Mazarrón. What an amazing place. I ran out of film! It will take a while before I post the photos ; I have so many in the pipeline. Here is a little taster of what's to come.

 @b8889edb I might go back and check. It could be the lens, or maybe the film, ISO rating and developer.  With film photography there are so many variables!

 @b8889edb I haven't really noticed a difference in contrast between Takumar and Nikon lenses, but I have taken a shine to the Spotmatic with Takumar lenses. Maybe it is a contrast thing.  I have only been using Takumar for a few months.

 @97296b5c Thank you for your kind comments. Antiquera is definitely worth a visit, but I would put Sevilla or Cordoba higher up the list. 
 From my website, a photo article about Antequera https://www.tapasinthesun.com/spain-places/antequera/

I took the photos earlier this year but have only got around to writing the post. And yes, I know, the photos are digital and in colour 😳😱

 @bbda250e Great news that the Rolleiflex works fine! Shame about the insufficient chemicals, otherwise the negs look decent. 
 @88b449c5 Wonderful light streaming through the forest canopy.

 @87b364ab I remember those. I was sent to the Middle East for work. The company I worked for used to send me instructions and updates by Telex. I never measured their length though.

 @8b382838 The fact that Nick Carver was involved and endorses it is reassuring. I believe it supports his ‘precision metering’ method. 
 @a3e2a07b  It makes the photos more personal and memorable. It's the imperfections that make them special.
