I Learned Something Today

No artsy fartsy stuff this time. I'm not sure if anyone reads this, but I'd like to write this down anyway...

 

Friday I developed two rolls of film (in 120 size). I don't really have a darkroom. I use a film changing bag in the batroom to load the films in the tank. The loading of the films to the spiral was a struggle. It's quite hot now and I was sweatting quite a lot. The sweat made the inside of the changing bag very humid and the film started to stick to the plastic auto load reel. After developing a found that the loading was almost fine... But I had a few wrnkles on one of the films.

 

Today I took the item on the picture... A cheap tabletop fan... And set it behind me before loading the films. It kept other parts of my body cool and even if the changing bag got quite hot my hand were swetting a lot less. The loading was a lot easier!

 

Sometimes the solutions are quite simple!

 

Oh... The picture is digital... I used a manual focus 55mm f/1.8 lens for bokey background... May that be the artsyfartsy part today. :D
