Rain, Rain, Go Away!

So last night it continued to rain, I mean, POUR, and pour it did! This is crazy weather. How the heck are my vegetables going to grow??

Yesterday afternoon I went into the darkroom to develop two rolls of film from our camping trip and from my outing yesterday morning. I might as well have had both hands tied behind my back and tried to develop the film with my teeth!! Egads! What a start! Usually I can load the film onto the reels in 4 minutes. Not so yesterday, it took me almost a half hour to load 2 rolls of film. Crazy - no, frustrating. Must be the weather! ;) I think the results were good. I checked out the negatives with the light box and I see some pretty good ones in there. I need to make a contact print of the negatives and go from there.

I have two enlargers. I've been using the Beseler dichroic color head enlarger. The other one is a Vivitar that I've actually never used. I may have to try that one out. Might be a small learning curve, but it's strictly for B&W developing. Something else for me to work on.

I'm cleaning up around here at the same time. So now I'm going to spend a little time cutting mats, that way I'll know what else I may need in that regard, as I see I'm going to need some more chemicals for developing too. Boy, those supplies went fast!
