The process of devoloping requires the use of a dark room. You can complete this process though, with the following materials, most of them things you can find around the house. First you must develop the negatives
Materials:
~ a watch
~ rubber gloves
~ plastic funnel
~ thermometer
~ a sink or bucket
~ three plastic trays
~ measuring cylinder
~ two pairs of plastic tongs
~ photographic solutions for developing
prints
Developing The Negative
1. In complete darkness you put
the film on a reel and load it into an light tight canister.
2. Then go into dark room only
using red light because the film is sensitive to light. You put it
in fixer, stop, photowash and water.
3. After that you will have a negative,
from which you make prints, the actual picture.
Making Prints-Pictures
1. Cut the film into strips of six
negatives. Place a negative onto the film holder of the enlarger,
dull side down. Mix the chemicals needed and pour them into seperate
trays. Get instructions for chemicals from manufacturer.
2. Turn safelight and enlarger
on. Set the printing easel to the size of the paper you are using
and adjust the height of the head until the image fits the edges of the
easel.
3. Focus the image and set the
aperture to the largest size for the brightest image.
4. Once the red filter is over
the lens, put a piece of of printing paper, shiny side up, in the easel.
Check the focus once again, turn the enlarger off, and take the filter
off. For a sharper result, reduce the aperture by 2 sizes.
5. Make a test strip and cover
most of it with cardboard. Turn the enlarger on for a 10-second exposure.
Move the cardboard down to reveal another part of the picture for a 10-second
exposure. Repeat this process until the whole picture is exposed.
6. Slide the test strip into the
tray of developer. Rock it gently until the strip is completely covered
for time recommended by manufacturer
7. Put the print into each chemical
for its given time.
8. Then you dry it and have your
picture.
