Tower Block Development

Hornsea Mere

Another purchase that I made last Thursday was of a rather special film developing tank which can develop three films at once.

It contains three spirals into which you wind the films before putting the whole thing in the light tight tank and pouring in the chemicals.

This is a good idea because if you use large format film with only a few shots per roll you find yourself coming home with multiple films to be developed. Also, you can save up a bunch of films and then do them all at once. I was going to put three films in the tank but it occurred to me that this would be a bad idea if the tank was faulty. So I found an old film which had some pictures on it but had been slightly spoiled when I opened the camera back by mistake. I wasn’t expecting there to be much on this film, so if it didn’t work I’d be quite relaxed about it. However, it worked just fine and I even had some pictures turn out OK, which was nice.
