Developing black-and-white film in a bathroom

You do not need a darkroom to develop black-and-white film. You need about an hour and a bathroom.

What you need

• A changing bag, to load the film in the dark.
• A developing tank and reel.
• Developer, stop bath and fixer.
• A thermometer and a timer.

The steps

1. Load the film onto the reel inside the bag, then close the tank. After this you can work with the lights on.
2. Pour in developer at the right temperature and time from the chart.
3. Stop, fix and wash.
4. Hang the film to dry somewhere dust-free.

Read the safety sheets for your chemicals and keep the room ventilated.
