<p>and this............... (sorry but I don't yet know how to post multiple images)</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Well Mark, it is so like me to fail in unique and interesting ways. <br> Not that I'm discouraged mind you, but inspired to see what other unique and interesting fails I can produce during my learning period. :)<br> I think next time I will use 35mm with the Paterson set up and see about the stop bath thing. Meanwhile I have ordered more 120 film to sacrifice while I practice some more. <br> Thank you again everyone for the advice and encouragement. <br> I am rather interested though as to why some of my pics came out b&w while others were kinda beige and others pink.</p> <div></div>

<p>Goodness people don't you know? It was used for taking sexy shots and nudes at home. </p>

<p>Thank you all so much for your help and advise. I practised for days spooling the film but still managed to mess it up, so back to more practising for me! <br> My concern is that I couldn't tell that the film hadn't loaded correctly (and I was so proud to get it on the first try). LOL <br> I've ordered a Hewes reel and a ss tank for 120 so hopefully I'll do better next time. <br> I still managed to get some good images though, between blobs, so am not too discouraged!</p>

<p>Hi all<br> I was very excited to have a go at home processing 120 B&W Ilford HP5plus 400. <br> I used a Paterson tank, Adox Adonal developer (as recommended by the shop I purchased from) and Ilford Rapid Fixer. No stop bath.<br> For timing I used the Massive Dev app on my phone. The results were interetsing. <br> The first batch produced small blue blobs and blue edging randomly on some of the negs.<br> The second batch produced a couple of large pink blobs on the negs.<br> Obviously something is very wrong with my technique but being new I have no idea where the problem is. <br> Even with these issues I am delighted with my first attempts and will be doing lots more, hopefully without the mysterious blobs.<br> The camera I used was a 60 year old Ensign Selfix folding pocket camera. I had focusing issues with it but will be switching to a TLR for my next attempt.<br> Thankful for any advise.<br> <img src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lee_jay_dee/albums/72157676238072410" alt="" /></p> <div></div>
