Help with dev process
Hi - I shot these on Pentax K1000 with Ilford HP5. Recently bought the camera off of FB marketplace, and also first time developing at home with Kodak products (Dev: Kodak Professional HC-110, Fixer: Kodak Professional Rapid Fixer ONLY PART A, water wash, Wetting Agent: Photo-Flo 200). Here was my process --
Dev: 1:3 solution, timer 5 mins, agitate first minute continuously, and then 10 seconds at the top of each minute
Fix: 1:3 solution, timer 5 mins, agitate first minute continuously, and then 10 seconds at the top of each minute
Water Wash: Ilford method.. add water, agitate 5x, dump, add water, agitate 10x, dump, add water, agitate 20x, dump
Wetting Agent: 1.5 ml of photo flo to 300 ml of water, agitate 30 seconds
Dry + scan with Canon EOS 2000D
I really don't love how it came out, and I'm not sure if the issue is how I shot it (I am admittedly learning how to operate in manual and this was the first time I used the pentax k1000 with BW film), an error with my developing process, or if I just need to figure out how to use lightroom. Looks like there's random spots / lines / scratches but would really really appreciate any insight. I am new to this so please be nice!
