At Home Film Developing

There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day, at least there doesn't seem to be enough time allocated for both film and printing for me.  Living in Dun Laoghaire and working random hours, I began to feel I wasn't getting the time to both print and develop in college.  I think my time would be better spent printing in college.  So, I decided to set myself up to develop film at home.  I've just managed my first roll successfully and it now drying in the bathroom.

Luckily I'd access to a developing tank, so I picked up the chemicals, thermometer, changing bag, and beakers up, relatively cheaply and took the bull by the horns :)  This will save me time, but I think also the at home experience will be invaluable I think.

Of course, a big thank you to my aunt for the developing tank and Gunn's cameras for their friendly helpful tips.
