Finishing rolls of Ilford HP5 and FP4

in
After my trips to Portugal and Asturias, I had a couple of rolls to finish. I decided it was about time and went out to shoot the frames that were left. Then, I developed and scanned them.

I had a few rolls sitting around for a while, with a few shots left in them, so I decided to go out and finish them. This is what it came out of that morning out... and of those rolls.

It was my first outing in Spain as well. I visited the "Cañones del Sil", or Sil Canyon, a beautiful landscape pretty close to where I live now and where I grew up.

Finally, I was able to get out and drive somewhere to shoot some landscape photography. This time, I went to the nearby Sil Canyon, a beautiful place just 25 minutes away from where I live now (and where I grew up).

Carved by the Sil river, this canyon is short but very spectacular. Its other attraction is also its biggest flaw: it's full of wineries since the sides of the cliffs are very good for grapes. On one hand, you get amazing wine. On the other one, the canyon has been worked for hundreds of years and it doesn't look as wild as one could hope.

I managed to get one image for sunset, but I wasn't too crazy about it. The next morning, and even though I woke up late for sunrise, I was able to make an image I was happy with.
