When I received my tilde.town invitation email I thought to myself 'What I'm gonna do here, actually?' and then idea for this page came to my mind, almost immediately.
I'm in the process of shooting my first (actually second, but more on that later) roll of black and white analog film and I'm looking forward to developing it myself. I thought that it would be a cool project to document my journey with b&w photography and developing on this website. So here we go.
BackstoryAbout a year ago, I got into analog photography. I've shoot a few rolls and really enjoyed it, but the costs of film and developing would stop me from enjoying this hobby as much as I'd like to. So I've been thinking about getting into b&w and developing. Actually I already have one exposed roll of Ilford HP5 that I've shoot with the intention of developing at home but never actually got down to doing it. Recently I got a few rolls of respooled Fomapan 100, which happened to be the cheapest film available for me, and I'm going to develop as soon as I finish the first one, so hopefully in a few days. We'll see if the film survives developing in soviet era chemistry from my attic (dad says it's fine). And if I don't mess anything up.
GearI'm shooting with my Canon EOS 300. I really like this camera, It's lightweight, has all the useful features while not being overly complicated and the 50mm I have on it is just fine.
Should've probably started like this but idk. So hi, my name is Kajtek and I'm a 19 year old living in Poland. I'm starting my last year of ICT course in high school this year. I take photos, mess around with computers and do variety of random things.
