In this video, I'm sharing a complete step-by-step guide for developing your black-and-white film at home. This is the exact method and tools that I started out with years ago, and it made me realise how easy the process is.
We'll develop a roll of Ilford FP4 in 120, and I'll show you all the necessary accessories you'll need, how to choose a developer and how the chemicals work, how to easily get your chemicals to temperature, a handy app that will make your life easier, and the entire developing process using a Paterson tank, including how to dry your film and dispose of the chemicals afterwards.
I hope this encourages you to try out home development!
