Great job on your first roll. Changing bags suck. Just use your closet. I use a bathroom. Do it at night with all the lights in the house off and shades drawn. As long as no one walks in, it'll be dark enough.

I second this. And, if you "gotta go" you can kill two birds with one stone while you're in there. Getting film on a spool passes the time better than reading the newspaper.
Great first effort by the by. Love the shoes shot.

Hey...
I just happened onto this Thread, and Congrats are in order!
This week, I developed my own, twice. Don't load up in a changing
bag; that's an awfully small, sweaty environment to work in.
When the films are hung up to dry, and you linger to look them over...
it is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
Cheers, mike

B&W File Dev sequence.
B&W File Dev sequence.
Is Hypo Clear the same as stop bath? If so should that be right after D-76 Dev? I've been doing a little development again since I did it years ago. Perhaps things have changed and I welcome change, better ways and all that. So if someone finds anything wrong with this sequence please speak up.
My Development Workflow:
1. Ilford DD-X ( Mixture 1:2 - 1:4, Temp 68deg. F, Dev Time: 7)
2. Kodak Stop Bath (Mixture 1:4, Temp 68deg. F, Time: 2 Min.)
3. Kodak Fixer (Mixture 1:4 , Temp 68deg. F, Time 2 Min.)
4. Water Flush (Temp 55-70deg. F, Time 5 min.)
NOET: I like the Ilford DX-11 gives me darker shadows and a bit more punch in my humble opinion.

DX-11... hmm... I'm after trying some other developer, instead of LC29. Rodinal perhaps... dunno. LC29's ok, but it's not got me the more contrasty look I was after (and have seen in the galleries).BadMonkey said:

Ops I just realized I made a mistake on the Ilford film developer formula it's Ilford DD-X film developer.
As far Rodinal I've purchased some but haven't tried it yet. What's LC29?

Apologies... Ilford LC-29. The main reason I bought a bottle of the stuff is that it has a long shelflife.BadMonkey said:

Ah yes I do use Photoflow to prevent water stains, about a cap full into 12oz of tap water for about 1min.
Thanks for reminding me.

No, "hypo" is a term for fixer, so hypo clear neutralizes the fixer and reduces wash time, which is the next step.BadMonkey said:
