I shot young Hannah around the Crystal Palace park the other day, i fancied wasting some black and white film and do some home processing with Rodinal, which is by far my favourite way to home develop BW film.

I used a rough technique for this batch, semi-stand developing for an hour at a 100:1 ratio. For the non geeks out there it means you chuck the film in a canister, you fill it with 500ml of water and 5ml of Rodinal developer; give it two agitations first, let it settle for 1/2 an hour and then you agitate it twice again.

After another 1/2 hour you stop the film with straight fixer, wash it, hang it and dry it.

It's a pretty rough technique but i like it because it's very slow, calm and there's none of that rushing you get when you develop film normally.

Here's the results. Yee haw.
