Billy, G'day from Oz, good to have you aboard we need all the sanity we can muster these days. Clever that Mr Jolly, all my friends seem to be off buying Canon kit however as it's a damned site cheaper and easier to get here than the Pentax gear. Still Pentax kit has it's virtues, quality image making is one of them. So that is one green serene pic, Agfa Ultra 100 hey, it delivers plenty of punch saturation wise I assume. The last Ultra I used was the 50 and it was pretty difficult to scan even using a decent dedicated film scanner. All in all it's not a bad pic the only thing is that the veiling green makes it that little bit difficult to easily differentiate between the rocks and the foliage. Well done in any case especially if its one of your first. Don't get too locked in to the slow/shutter water thing, do try and experiment with faster shutter speeds too, sometimes the dynamics of the water flow is interesting too.
