A little more agitation...

It was a lovely clear day

Went up town today (lunch at Thieving Harry’s) and I took a few pictures. Then, when we got back I developed the roll. When you develop film it is a good idea to move the film around a bit (although you can also leave it standing for an hour or so). Up until recently I’ve been turning the tank upside down a couple of times for each minute. This works OK, but if the tank top is not entirely watertight you can end up with hands full of developer.

So lately I’ve tried using the little “spinny thing” that came with the tank and lets you rotate the spiral containing the film. This is easier to do and keeps your hands dry. It also doesn’t agitate the film as well. If you look at the picture above you will see streaky marks in the sky which I think are caused by insufficient agitation. It looks like I’m going to have to go back to “wet hands” process. But I think I’ll get some gloves too.
