Wow, two posts in one day. Go me.
\nI developed my first roll of film today. As I mentioned in a previous post, i’ve been thinking of trying out some black and white film developing for a while now. This week i got some gear and gave it a go.
\nI shot a roll on Agfa APX100 and developed it in Rodinal at 1:50 for 13 minutes, then used Ilford stop bath and fixer.
\nIt was a pretty straightforward process, the hardest bit was starting, as I was worried about stuffing something up. In the end I did stuff something up, but it had nothing to do with the chemicals and timing etc. It was the fact that I stupidly hung my negatives to dry in a shower with a leaking head. So I got drips of water down the bottom of my strip of negatives. Some of the water marks dried out, but others didn’t. You always stuff up the shots you’re most interested in seeing don’t you… Well I do anyway.
\nThe negatives that didn’t dry out are being re-soaked. Hopefully i can salvage some of them.
\nI was quite happy with the ones that did dry properly, so I scanned them in with my ancient scanner that magnifies grain and dissipates tonal range.
\nHere are a few shots that scanned ok.
\nThey’re aren’t amazing, but I am more interested in seeing if I developed them correctly or not. I think they’re pretty close.
\nAs you can tell in some of the shots, the light was incredibly harsh the day I took these…. One day I’ll be able to shoot in favourable light… One day.<\/p>\n
