More photos from our recent trip to and from New Orleans.

Loaded into a 1L tank inside daylight changing bag. Pre-wet film for ~25 minutes. During the pre-soak mixed 8.3mL HC-110 concentrate into distilled water to ~800 mL. Emptied out pre-wetting water and poured developer into the tank and topped off the tank with distilled water. Agitated 40x over the first sixty seconds or so, knocked on the tank several times to dislodge bubbles, and then agitated 10x at 30:00. All agitations are all half-agitations, gently (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree angle, then gently back).

After 60 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed 5x/10x/20x in 68-degree tap water. Fixed in fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes, inverting 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. (That’s now 12 rolls fixed in this batch of fixer.) Reclaimed fixer and rinsed for ten minutes in tap water, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank with distilled water and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.
