Boat, waiting for summer to return

Svema LN-9 color positive tungsten film. !990s vintage. Shot at ISO 12. Developed from a 1948 Ansco formula with minimal ingredients amd adapted (i.e. homemade) process to include ANSCO potassium ferricyanide bleach. The color, while present, is mottled. This is a weak color developer which is essentially 1:1 dilution of the regular color reversal developer. I used on ly 2 grams od CD-2 color developing agent, and I think that is about 0.5 to 1.0 grams short. Development time was 16 minutes and could have been longer to make up for the weak developer and then horrendously long time since expiration. There could be other reasons for the outcome, and this is the first time I tried this. However, it did create a bit of an artistic moment…. This boat, waiting for summer to return….
