Finally got the new blog exactly the way I want it! I had to create a new design for the top of the page, but I really love how it turned out. I'm going to start posting pictures ASAP, but school does come first. I am also hoping to get some of my black and white film photography pictures up sometime! I worked for 4 1/2 hours last night developing film and making prints of pictures. Below are a few pictures I took in the lab (sorry about the quality, I took them with my cell phone). It's a really neat process and it is a really great learning experience. I think if you like photography as a hobby, you should definitely look into taking a black and white film class. Anyways, check out the rest of my blog! Several pages are not finished yet, but I will let you know when they are!
Here are the materials you use when developing film. First, you have to take the film out of the canister it comes in. Then you have to get the film onto these rolls (shown below) and wind them on. Then you put the rolls into the black bucket (shown above) and screw in the funnel so no light gets in. Oh, and did I mention that you have to do all of this in total darkness? It's a very difficult process, but it gets easier with more practice.
Once these are in the bucket with the funnel securely fastened, you can turn the lights back on. The funnel allows you to pour in the chemicals to develop the film without letting in any light. After you finish mixing all the chemicals, the disks must rinse in running water for 5 minutes. Then the film strips go into the dryer.
