Today’s post will be shorter than those from the last week or so, mostly because I’ve had a busy day and want to kick back and put my feet up for a bit. When I say busy, it’s not that I’ve been doing any heavy lifting or anything, but today was my first attempt at developing lack and white film at home, and it’s been kinda mentally tiring as I’ve tried to get everything right and not mess the whole thing up.
The good news is that I have some negatives that (from first glance) look ok. They’re currently hung in the shower drying (there’s an irony in that statement, surely…) so the proof will be when I come to scan them.
I’ll post the results and an account of my experience in a forthcoming post, but suffice to say that not everything went to plan…
Until next time, here’s someone admiring a nude in The Hepworth.

I can’t wait to hear about your first developing experience and see the results! Take care.

Thanks P. I’ll hopefully have enough sample scans ready to blog about in the next few days.

Thanks Jim. I’ve scanned a few already and they’re looking ok. Not sure I’ll have any “prize winners” in there, but hopefully a few interesting ones.
