    I have shown this before but thought I'd make a more informative video especially for new subscribers and those that ask me about the process.
    I used Ortho so I could show the process under safe light.
    One thing I didn't mention is to make sure your film is inside the tank with the emulsion side facing outwards!!!

    I forgot to mention in the video. The emulsion side of the film should face the developer. Not face the wall of the can. Go with the natural curl of the film as you see in the video. 🙂

      This is about 3 times the cost of film if developed as a single roll. Chances are you will lose at least a frame or two with each attempt at removing a single frame. Winding the film afterwards will cause more frames to be lost and damaging those wound up on the reel. A Polaroid would be the best tool obviously. Otherwise, deep breathe, go shoot more frames or wait till you have another subject or two.

    I've been using for my film canister pinholes as well. I use 3 separate canisters filled with 1+15 HC110, stop, and fix. A baking pan as a work space in a 3mil contractor garbage bag pulled up to my shoulders and dark bathroom is pretty light tight. I just move the piece of film from one canister to another.

    I have stored exposed film inside those black canisters, and found them to not be completely light-tight.
    I think the development technique you are using is so quick (minutes) that the film is likely not compromised.
    An old fashioned metal container might be 100% light tight.
    I haven't tested mine.
    I love your single-frame-development idea.
    A 120 film canister, with less than full developer liquid inside might provide a bit more aggressive agitation if desired.

    • @ShootFilmLikeaBoss

      That's the fun in testing stuff and seeing what happens. I'm often playing with agitations in these cans to see what differences I get.

    I have dozens of undeveloped roll of films and I watched how to develop one frame !
    Talk about lazy Sunday afternoon . Now I have to figure out how to cut frame by frame to not destroy any important images . In my case it is easy - cut aniwer . 🙂
    I love your video !

      If the whole roll is exposed, why cut it, unless you shot it for developer testing? Just get off your tripod and get it into the tank and slosh it around!

  • @SilntObsvr
    @SilntObsvr 4 роки тому +1

    Might want to clarify -- emulsion should be *in* -- that is, base side of the film is the side contacting the film can. BTW, the way you have the chemicals set up, there's no good reason you need either a black film can (most 35mm cans are translucent these days) or ortho film -- you can just do all the work in total darkness. Prepoured developer, pour out into the catch pitcher (easy enough by feel), then dip the stop and dip the fixer as you showed (or just slide the film out of the can into the fixer). Once the film has been in the fixer for about a minute, you can turn on the lights.
    Then you're one step closer to tray developing large format film...

    I roll my own 35mm film just to have short rolls, but I do it so I can give each image the development I think it needs. If I've shot an image I want to give N-1 development I don't want an image requiring normal or N+1 development to be ruined by being on the same roll. I won't allow more than 10 frames onto a roll under any circumstances. My normal roll is 4 frames, plus leader and tail of 2 frames each. With that, I have more than enough flexibility to try whatever filters I want. If you feel that's wasteful, how many frames out of a roll of 24 or 36 does one actually get around to printing? Be well there.

    It seems to me that if the photo is important enough to go to all this bother, it's too important to risk all the things that could go wrong. I'd rather shoot two or three frames (just in case) then open the camera in a changing bag, snip off the exposed portion, then load it onto a reel and develop it in a tank as normal.

      I can shape a new leader if I want to use the rest of the roll normally. If I want to continue like this I'll put the roll back in its canister so the film hanging out never sees light and reload another strip.
