Yesterday I developed a film for the first time in my life!

Yesterday I developed a film for the first time in my life! It actually was quite fun, and not too dificcult. Had done research for a long time online and I am pretty happy with this first roll. Was very glad to see that there was something on the film when I hung it to dry🙂

Camera:
Leica M2, Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.4

Film: Fomapan 200 developed in Fomadon LQN, 5 minutes at 20C

I have removed the biggest specs of dust and tweaked the contrast a little on most of the pics, but have not spent much time on that.

If anyone is interested or have any tips, I have uploaded more to this set on Flickr:

I would say, for the first results, the pictures are great! Considering the scanner, its is normal that you need to adjust a bit contrast or black or white points.

Have fun with the next ones! I'm developing almost every week a few rolls, it is crazy, but fun and let make you proud of your work.

When 'll you start enlarging? 😀

I would use a film dryer to keep the film more dust free. Some mirasol helps you to.

Very nice work! They look great! I'm anxiously waiting to try it for my first time as well. Just reading more and more on it so i can do it right. It must be one of the most exciting feelings to see your images appear 🙂

Great stuff Vidar, well done. Living in Bergen gives you a lot to take pictures of.

Veldig bra Vidar! Jeg er nesten i samme situasjon, fremkaller nå film for første gang på 20 år, veldig spennende og ganske så morsomt.

Thanks all. Yeah it really was a great feeling to see that there was images on the film.. Was thinking I might have done alot of things wrong.

Just go for it wblanchard! I found great help in this step by step guide: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bwology/discuss/72157623834927092/
