3 Steps to develop your own film: Part One & Two

I'm taking a black and white photography class at UTD this semester. We are learning to develop and print our own film in the school's darkroom. It's a long process from beginning to end but also fun and rewarding. It's a good feeling to see the end product after all the steps and procedures you went through to make it. Here's how the photo travels from the camera to the print on your wall in 3 major steps.

Major Step 1: Shoot some film!

A. Load film correctly (Make sure to not expose the film to much light or
it will be ruined)

B. Set the proper aperture and shutter speed settings based on the amount
of light you have and what you are trying to capture.

C. Shoot all frames on the roll and let the film rewind back into the
canister before you take it out of the camera.

Major Step 2: Develop Film

A. Roll film onto a developing tank roll in complete darkness. This
requires using scissors and a can opener in darkness.

B. Once your film is securely inside the sealed tank then you take it
through a series of chemicals pouring each one separately into the
for varied amounts of time depending on the chemical.

C. After you have gone through the series of chemicals you can then take
film to the drying vent and once it has dried cut the negatives into
strips to store.
