Analog B&W Film Photography - First Dark Room Experience

I would see in the movies how film was made in the red room, seemed quiet fascinating to me and i hoped that i would get to try it for a first time even if i am digital photographer at heart. my entry for the #monomad challenge

The film turned out really great for first timer being that the instructors instructions where followed up to a tea, in the second image you would see the lights leaks which where not coincidental because a different film camera an negative has been used to shoot the image, it gives it an edge if you ask me.

Here in the dark room, there is all the utensil available to develop a film properly, with instructional notes of notice boards for the difference in format sizes and negative brands

we begin with getting ready the tank then proceeding to turn of the lights, the fanpo small format negatives is what we are using

we also get to develop pictures of photo paper using the deep method in Dektol, stop and fix, this was really fun.

After fixing and washing with soap, The drying cabinet is where all the strips is being hung to dry off with timer set to 30 minutes.

The next day we cut up the film strips order of number over a lighting to keep it accurate and after that they a place in the sheet for protection.

this is after they have been scanned using Espson V600 film Scanner.
