For the first time in about twenty years, I developed some B&W film in my bathroom. I took some test shots around the neighborhood (being unwilling to risk a nice shot to my recently re-learned processing skills) but I did try to use contrasty subjects to see how the film would react. I took the exposures with a Mamiya 7ii using a 150mm lens.
I used D-76 (stock) with an 8 minute development time at 29 degrees C. I then used Kodak stop bath and fixer and a five-minute wash. (Not exactly daring in the chemistry department, but hey it's my first time in a long while). I then scanned the negatives with an Epson 4990 film scanner.
I'm quite proud of myself. There is no better feeling than producing something with one's own two hands. The negatives came out beautifull and tack sharp!
Some links follow. Not art, certainly--more proof that I could still do it. Comments and suggestions most welcome.
