Home-developed Ilford XP2 (#3)

Everything that could have gone wrong while home-processing this roll of XP2 did go wrong: Problems loading the film on the spool ending with several heavily scratched frames? Check. Partly exposed the roll while fighting to get it into the canister? Check. Spilled some developer while pouring and eyeballed an amount of water to add to the mix? Check. Ambient temperature nearly 30C? Check. And yet - some good shots. Amazing. Cherry blossoms at the SW corner of Robarts Library, University of Toronto. They were really early this year. Home-processed black and white roll #13 (developer: Rodinal).
