Some houses are built on sand, and that’s not usually a good thing. The photograph was captured using a Pentax Auto 110 with an 18 mm f/2.8 lens, which corresponds to a 36 mm lens on 135 film. The film was Orca 100, and it was developed using Rodinal 1+25 for 6 minutes at 22°C.

Yes, I have noticed that it is essential that the ends of the film are cut at right angles when threading the film onto the developing reel, at least if you have a steel reel that is loaded from the centre. I usually fold the film at the end to make it easier to cut it with scissors.
