Processing Black and White photos

1.) List the materials (equipment) necessary to process black and white film: A metal or plastic film tank,Three dark plastic containers to hold chemistry,Graduates (used to measure chemicals),Stirring Rods,Scissors,thermometer, Film Squeegees,Timers,A darkroom timer,Running water,A can opener,A room that is totally light proof,Developer ,Glacial Acetic Acid (optional, for Stop Bath),Fixer,and developer.

2.) List the chemicals we might be using in the darkroom and where one would buy those chemicals:Stop Bath, Fixer, Developer, from Kodak web site.

3.) Summarize in one or two paragraphs the process from start to finish:

    Take the film out in a darkroom with a can opener then load the film into a plastic film reel. next put it into the film tank..Then set up the chemicals in the tanks. Have the film go though the Developer(Measure the temp of the developer with a thermometer) then the fixer and last the stop bath.Make sure the temperature of the chemicals is 65-75 degrees. Time in each step will every from the type of Developer,fixer, and stop bath you use.

4.) Post a photo of the equipment necessary to process film:

5.) Post a photo of the chemicals necessary to process film:

1. Contact sheet-is a photo print of your film negatives. 

2. Agitation-helps speed up and even the development and prevents spotting or staining.

3. Enlarger-is a projector that project a negative onto photographic paper in an enlarged form.

4. Developer-A solution for developing a film or photographic paper

5. Stop Bath-A diffusion of acetic acid used between the developer and the fixer to arrest development and extend the life of the fixer.

6.Fixer-A chemical solution that makes a photographic image sensitive to light.
