Processing and Printing B&W Prints

College this evening we developed the B&W films we shot last week. In groups of three we rolled the film onto a reel and placed it into a Developer Tank (pic on left) this was done in complete darkness. When feeding the film onto the reel you must be careful not to touch the front and back part's of the film, not to damage it. Once we had sealed the roll in the light proof tank we were able to put the lights on. We then poured in developer solution and water 1:1 200ml of each, the water must be 21º. We then agitated for 10 sec every min for 13 min in total. Next step we emptied the developer and replaced it with stop bath and Water ratio 1:1. we then agitated for 10secs and after a min we emptied the stop bath away. This was replaced with fixer solution 400ml still agitating every min for 10secs and 5min in total. To finish off we run clean water over the film roll for about 20 min, to wash away all the solutions. All that is left to do is to hang the roll and leave it to dry. Once the film had dried it was ready to be cut and placed into sleeves. 
Overall I would like to do more film photography and practice developing the rolls I have used, as I really enjoyed the whole process from start to finish. Instead of just clicking ok on a computer to print the photography out, this way you can appreciate the work which has gone into developing the image as well as taking the photo.
