Film Development Problem

[Moto-Uno]

Just curious , where in Canada were you and where in Vietnam do you reside ? Peter

After I pour in the developer, I use the stick agitator for a full minute. After 45 seconds I agitate using the stick for 15 seconds. I repeat this until the end of development. I also use the stick agitator for stop and fix. Perhaps I should tap the tank a few times then begin agitation...

It is better to turn the tank upside down once every minute. Only right after the developer is poured into the tank you should use the agitator. This is the best way to get fresh developer on the film surface every minute .

Is it the couple of dark spots in the sky we're looking at, or is it something else? The foreground is much too busy for us to notice.

Now I see them, here at home on a better monitor. I agree they're bubbles.

Air bubbles. Strange as my process didn't change when I developed those three rolls, and again, no problems using the same process before. Perhaps I'll go back to using inversions after adding the developer. Thanks again.

Moto-Uno: I used to live in Hamilton, Ontario before moving to Saigon.
