making a black and white print

1.) List the materials (equipment) necessary to process black and white film
  • A metal or plastic film tank
  • Three dark plastic containers to hold chemistry
  • Graduates (used to measure chemicals)
  • A darkroom timer
  • A can opener
  • A room that is totally light proof (not even the slightest sliver of light should be visible).
  • Developer (see other sidebar)
  • Glacial Acetic Acid (optional, for Stop Bath)
  • Fixer (Kodak Rapid Fixer with Hardener is highly recommended) 
  • Hypo Eliminator
    2.) List the chemicals we might be using in the darkroom and where one would buy those chemicals 
 The Developer,Stop Bath, Fixer,Color Proccesing, Glacial Acetic Acid
These Are Available At Kodak Store Or At Any Store That Specializes In Photo Proccesing.
3.) Summarize in one or two paragraphs the process from start to finish
You First need To Reel In Your film strip and put it in a metal or plastic film tank. Then 
You Pour In The Developer In The Tank and agitate slowly once thats done you get rid of that,Then
You Would do the same thing with the stop bath and the fixer.Then you wash your film under running water 5 to 10 minutes.Then You Take the reel out of the canister and spool your film off the reel, soak it for a few seconds in water with a drop of dishwashing liquid.Then Wipe The Residue of Film With A Squeege.After That Hang It And Dry It In A Dust Free Room and the after is dry it should be ready for scanning.
4.) Post a photo of the equipment necessary to process film
4.) Post a photo of the chemicals necessary to process film
1. emulsion : a light-sensitive coating on paper or film; consists of fine grains of silver bromide suspended in a gelatin.
 2. aperture : a device that controls amount of light admitted 
3. masking easel : an upright tripod for displaying something  
 4. exposure : the act of exposing film to light
5. safe light : a special lamp used in the darkroom to provide working visibility without affecting the photosensitive emulsion of the radiographic film
.6. dodging : reducing the exposure to areas of a print that would otherwise be too dark
.7. burning : a process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light.
