This was almost a disaster before I started. I was walking quite carefully towards this boat carrying everything I needed, camera mounted on the tripod, lens attached, loaded film holder in a trouser pocket, light meter swinging from my neck, as well as my loupe. Then I slipped in the viscous mud, probably destroying several mud crab houses just under the surface.
Fortunately I managed to save it, but I did get copious amounts of mud on various parts of the body and clothing, but nothing on the important bits. It was a cloudy day and this was the fourth time I had dropped in to photograph this boat, I figured with a bump in developing, an orange filter and under exposing the negative slightly, I might have a chance of getting some decent contrast.

Negative is a bit thinner than I would like, fortunately, everything I was after is there. The orange filter was used to lighten the hire boats which are either side, they were bright orange. I figured they would go dark without a filter and I wanted everything to be bright as I was struggling with the light from the get go.
