Processing 35mm black and white film.
After loading film each film needs 300mm of chemistry.
1. Using a 1:1 ratio – 150mm of both water at 20 degrees and ID11 (see developing chart for specific film developing times) Agitate for the first minute and then 10 seconds every minute. After use pour the chemicals down the sink.
2. Add 300mm of stop for 1 minute and agitate for the full minute, after use pour the chemistry back into the container to re-use.
3. Add 300mm of fix for 5 minutes, agitate for the first minute and then for 10 seconds every minute, after use pour the chemistry back into the container.
4. Rinse with water for 20 minutes, leaving the tap running.
5. After the 20 minutes add a couple of drops of wetting agent and agitate for 10 – 30 seconds and pour out.
6. Hang in the dryer for 20 minutes

Colour film

Religous Icons

Here  are three images out of my colour film that I really like and have also turned out, My last picture I really like how i position myself to capture the light of the candles and the background is dark.

Religous Icons


Research

Here is a image that I found on the Liverpool Cathedral website of the architechture inside the building.

Here is a link of the cathedral that i will be photographing inside and outside for the religous icon project.

The equipment that I will be using for this project will be tripod, film camera, and digital camera for back up and also testing the lighting. 

Also the lighting needs to be important when inside the building.

enlarger and darkroom equipment set up

 

Medium format / 120 film lens (green ring on lens-100mm) with various holders (6x6 and 6x7) frame sizes.

 

Large format lens and neg holder

 

 

35mm lens and neg holder

 

 

Filters: cyan, magenta and yellow. Controls on the right. The lever on the front switches the filters on and off.

 

 

this pictures shows the head adjustment control (furthest away) this allows you to raise and lower the head! The controls closest to us focus the the image from the negative.

 

 

Lever is down! Locking the holder in place and the lens is on, safe to turn on the light.

 

Placing neg holder in enlarger head, lever on the right locks holder in place! Make sure you have holder in place before switching light on! as light could spill across the room fogging paper that's out.

Neg holder for 35mm film

 

 

                                                            Place neg in holders shiny side up!

 

Loading the lens and holder in to the enlarger, tighten with the screw on the right as shown.

 

 

correct way lens fits in to the holder, this lens is used in the large LPL 7452 enlargers.

Here are the prints I achived from the dark room.

 

                                                       Test strip, 3.0 seconds and 25 magenta

                                                                 2.0 seconds and 10 magenta

                                     2.0 seconds and 10 magenta    

      

 

                                         15 seconds and 10 magenta

 

 

                               15 seconds and 10 magenta

 

 

15 seconds and 10 mangenta

 

To achive these prints I placed a strip of photographic paper on the surface under the light. I then placed my objects in the position I wanted onto the paper, here are my end results on photograms.
