Neopan Acros 100 in Rodinal - Blackstone Pebbles

One more from the recently processed batch of Fuji Neopan Acros 100.  I really like the way that this film renders midtones, and that is evident in this image.  Sadly Fuji ceased production of this film... for a second time.  The first time was about a decade ago, and then they brought it back.  This time they stopped for a while, and then came out with Acros II.  But the new and improved [?] version is only available in 35mm and 120 roll film.  I still have a number of boxes of sheet film left, including one of 8" x 10".  Hopefully by the time I use these up, Fuji will have had a change of heart, and release the sheet film again...!
I shot this image in May of 2021 with my Ebony SV45TE view camera and a 300mm lens.  These are pebbles along the shoreline of the Blackstone River in Clearwater County.  Fossils are quite common here and if you look closely you can see some fossilized coral in some of the pebbles.
