MSM member Ross Holmberg has very kindly written a three part tutorial for us. If you’d like to start developing your own Black & White film at home, read on!
It’s no secret that here at the Melbourne Silver Mine, we love film. Ask any member and they’ll give you a few of their reasons. Image “look” and “feel” feature highly of course, but you’ll also hear a lot of people talk about a love of the process; their gaze will probably drift somewhere over your right shoulder as they tell you about the satisfaction of going from the click of the shutter, to pulling the film out of the developing tank and seeing the water run off the images for the first time. Developing your own film is an important step in that process, and to immerse yourself in the process of film photography, you really should give it a try.
