Join Hunt’s Photo Education as we discuss all the key elements of loading and developing film, and get you to develop a roll on your own! In this workshop, we will show you how to load film into a developing tank, discuss the elements of the chemistry involved, and other various aspects. Because of the many variables, we will only be using one specific type of developer, but we will discuss the possibilities of other developers available and their advantages.
