I just shot a roll of HP5 @ 1600 to record the first visit my grandson made to our home. Did you process at home? I like this and am wondering what developer and solution you used.

Best,

Wayne

Hi Wayne, the film was lab developed so I have no idea what soup was used.

I’m quite a slow photographer so a roll can languish in the camera for some time, non the less I’ve decided to get the ‘bits and pieces’ together to start developing B&W film at home. Colour is a possibility at a later stage, but I’ve heard the chemicals can be a bit nasty, and since the kitchen will be my work place I might continue employing the services of a lab.

I like how you use natural window light for those candid portraits.

How do you go about removing surplus water without needing to touch the film? I've heard from others the occurence of water marks even when using something to break the surface tension.

Steve , after washing during 3 minutes under the tap , film inside your tank (I have 1 liter  Paterson) , replace by 

500 ml of distilled water +  some drops of wetting agent like Kodak Photo Flo ,  let it during 1 minute.

After that time ,  release the film and dry it with a hang up clothespin and another stainless steel clamp down

Let dry and you will have no trace when dry !

I'll bet it is different now with snow. And not too far from your home town, I had to Google where it was of course.

You're right, Gary. I'm sure it's different with the snow but I don't have the courage to attempt verification! We've had a few light falls in Mieussy but it's not yet cold enough for it to endure. It's not going to be a white Christmas this year. It's bucketing down, though.

Thanks Henry, the ingredient missing at my end is the distilled water. It’s not stocked on the high street, or in out of town shops, but has to be ordered on-line. The shipping costs normally swamp (there’s a pun there somewhere!) the cost of the distilled water, so tap water will have to suffice. On the positive side I don’t think it’s too hard; over time I hardly see any lime scale building up in the kettle.
