I’m subscribed to a youtube channel called The Art of Photography, and last week the host, Ted Forbes, did an episode on the “minimalist darkroom”. In the episode, Ted illustrated just how uncomplicated it can be to develop your own black and white film. You need the following: film, tank, developer, fixer(special fixer called TF4 eliminates stopper), distilled water, various used bottles, thermometer, a timer, scissors, can opener, and clothespins. I went ahead and ordered some supplies. Yesterday was a red letter day. My shipment of Rodinal black and white film developer came a day early, so I got down to business.
