If anyone is getting bad grain from Delta 100, something is amiss!
You kidding? I always get VERY fine grain from Delta 100. Love that film. What are you souping it in? Are you scanning the negs or prints? If so, what scanner?

Maybe, hopefully the running water was in an underground river. :D

Amen. Even in Rodinal it has been super fine grain for me.

no its a drainage ditch run off from all the fields its very hilly here
but there are some small drop off's that look like small mini waterfalls
so was thinking a 1 second exposure would give good effect

He was teasing you because 1 second at f3.5 may result in over-exposure in sunlight. Hence, underground.

f22?
Not sure. But yesterday I went for a walk around 5pm. On top of a hill I looked down onto some nice rolling fields and a dramatic cloudscape. Some sheep were running from left to right and I thought I'd get a photo and try and blur them so that the white contrasted with the black of the fields (I used an orange filter). I braced myself against a gatepost and chose f22 and 1/4 second. I would have preferred a longer exposure but it was too bright. Neopan 400 + orange filter.

well i just ordered some Kodak Ektar 100 36exp Colour Print Film as i would like to try it
and next week ill order some Ilford Delta 100 36 exposure
and see what happens
Ektar is a very nice film, I haven't tried in for landscape (I'm not really a landscape photographer), but I do like Ektar. Another good choice would be Fuji Pro 160C in the C-41 range. For b/w I would say Ilford Pan F Plus or Delta 100. Colour Slide Velvia-50 if you can get your hands on it.
