I just processed my first Black and White film from my 120 camera. Actually, my second. The first film was completely blank and I still have no idea why. Which is a bit concerning.

Anyway – I took 10 snaps as soon as I realised it might be a camera issue and they were of nothing in particular. 5 were tests with numbers on them to check the camera was ok. So, really, these are the first real snaps taken using my new film camera. Ilford HP5+ processed in HC110 – dilution of 1:31 and process time is 5 minutes at 20C. Grainy images but pleasing to have started! I scanned them using an Epson V550 and only scanned at 2400 dpi to save disk space. Lots to re-learn and a lot to learn for the first time.

I would not do it the same next time but I have now tested the processing and made tentative steps to scanning the negs. Next – back into the darkroom with some images I actually want to print and keep :-)
