Hi!

https://youtu.be/rW1cg3hDdc4

This might bring upon feelings of déjà-vu for some - I did a patreon-exclusive video a while ago where I did this for the first time. This is now my... fourth? I think? rodeo and I figured I'd document it again for public consumption.

There will also be a part 2 video where I cover scanning but editing that will be a bit more tedious.

Speaking of editing, this is very lightly-edited. Polish? It's got none of that. Good audio? Also missing. It's just me, my phone, and some time. This sort of video isn't everybody's cup of tea, but they're easy to make and hopefully helpful to some people. I'll let you know when part 2 is ready, and I'll be releasing this to the broader interwebs once I have a few fiddly bits sorted.

kay bye

Developing C-41 color film at home is actually pretty easy

Follow along in this very chill video with bad audio and yes, there will be a part 2

So tell us how many of Hunter Biden's dick pics are on there that you're gonna give to eMpTy Traitor Greene.

This was really enjoyable! Would love to see your fave shots in a follow up with scanning etc. 😄

I've gone on a film photography spree the last few years, including colour film and development. I've also bought a Jobo processor (though I started with a sous vide and a plastic tub) and got an enlager and a primitive dark room. I've started doing B&W prints on real old school photo paper too, and I'm working my way up toward RA-4. Which reminds me that I should get around to developing those 8 exposed rolls of film from this summer soon... I like using the Dev it! app for timing when developing my film. It makes it easy to configure the process up front, and then you just have to hit "start" and "continue" when you're actually developing. With the blix, the two step process is bleach then fixer (bleach-fix, blix, easy to remember). The bleach converts the developed silver back into undeveloped silver halides, and then just like in B&W the fixer removes the undeveloped silver (which after the bleach is all the silver) from the film. I have heard you're not supposed to put photoflo or stabilizer in plastic tanks or on plastic reels as it can react with the plastic and cause it to become sticky. I don't know if it's true, but I have some sticky second hand plastic gear, so it may well be true. I just put the stabilizer solution in an old litre measure, remove the film from the spools and let the film soak for a minute or so. I usually "squeegee" the film between my gloved fingers when I pull them out of the solution, but some people are worried about this scratching the film. I haven't noticed Fuji being any more annoying than Kodak (although some film stocks are more curly than others, Kodak Ultramax has been real bad for me). I usually hang wooden clothespins on each of the corners of the film to encourage it to dry more straight. I'm not sure if it actually makes a difference, but at least it makes me I feel better. I don't use those weights, I've had worse curl when using those. If you're looking for a technical analogue photography channel on YouTube, I can highly recommend you check out The Naked Photographer.

Could the light have got into the start of the film by using the leader retrieval tool under bright lights?

Lovely. Actually kind of softened my "no way I am going back to film" position. I mean I am still not, but I do own a few film cameras because I am big on vintage lenses on my digital camera. All in all I do have fond memories of learning on film and all those moments with my father, and I do understand how someone can enjoy the process and the hobby. I believe I should shoot a bit with my kids, for the sake of it.
