I don’t want to make this into a tutorial on developing colour film, as there are a lot of good tutorials online. I started with black and white, but as I mostly shoot colour film I soon after decided I should try to do that myself too. So back to the beginning: after purchasing a scanner at the end of last year, I didn’t have an excuse anymore not to develop film myself. I will share my results, and my current solution, but I am hoping for some input from readers with more experience. My biggest struggle is dealing with chemicals going bad: how to recognise it, how to deal with it, and how to prevent it. But to start with my conclusions: I don’t have a fool-proof strategy yet.
