Hands up in the air…

One of my new year resolutions was to process my own film. I done it. This was an expired B/W Orwopan 100 film that I have shot in December before Christmas with my Carena SRH1000. The film slept for a while. In November last year I got a special bag to use as a dark room to roll films to the processing tank. In January I have obtained the chemicals. So I was ready to go. And finally last weekend I give it a shot!
Results are almost terrible but ok, this is the first trial. Here I should indicate what I have used to process the B/W film.
Chemicals:
- Ilford ID 11 as the developer
- Amaloco s10 as the stop bath
- And finally Ilford rapid fixer
I am using JOBO 1520 universal tank and a very good quality (American brand) dark room bag. I have to add that I got three beakers from Carrefour to measure the chemicals and also a thermometer.
I have watched many tutorials about film processing on youtube but you learn only when you do it. My biggest mistake in this first trial was to use a little bit less developer chemical and also not to shake it very proper. So this is the lesson learned. I also have to admit that I am still not very good at rolling the film to the spiral for the processing tank. There I have lost some parts of the film and put my finger prints.
Once the processing was completed I hang the film rolls dry and next day scanned them with my Epson V500. As I have not yet bought any film envelopes the film was rolled so was very difficult to place in the scanner film holders. This is a final lesson for the future.
I look forward for new adventures with the B/W white films.

For some time I am trying to reduce the things in my home. I wonder what will I put in a box if I am limited to only one.

Love is around the corner. Glad that Saint Valentine is over. By the way I used to see hearts on red traffic lights but recently they disappeared.

Creative in our consumption society is questionable. Two adds here one about a bank and another about a flight carrier. The same stupid face…

Going through my backlog of pavement photos I came across this one from the center of Brussels. I hate ironing. Iron tables are tall. Ironing is time taking. I am just happy that I am not a tall person so that I do not to iron long pants.

Brussels is special for comic strips. Herge with Tintin is the best example.
