C41 B&W by joysabin

C41 B&W

I finally made the leap to develop my own color film. I hadn't found the courage to try color processing until now. It is fun and even easier than B&W process. This is from an old roll of C-41 400 asa, taken 1999 or 2000. I won't give up b&w processing but glad that I made this step.
whoop! gotta fav and also got to try this!

@kali66 This film was my go to when I was feeling lazy - I would take it to drugstore for processing. I tried with this roll but they saw B&W on the canister and rejected it. I guess that they didn't read beyond the first words- it clearly says to develop using the C41 process. Amazon has this available ( https://www.amazon.com/Kodak-Professional-BW400CN-Negative-Exposure/dp/B000FLK7VQ). Truly grateful for the fav.

@mbrutus An old roll as well, only 17 or so years. I was living in Eau Claire Wisconsin when I shot this. The barn was torn down shorty afterwards.

@overalvandaan This is film is fun and was my lazy film back in the day, I could let someone else develop. The C41 developing kit is easy but if you need developing tank and reels and other stuff. Having chemicals around with smaller people is always a factor too.

@kali66 Your film work is exceptional and I am so glad to see others doing more of it. It is truly gratifying to get at least some images out of a roll.

@yrhenwr I think that I like straight color and b&w better. Not sure if is the age of the film or just the processing, which I am still learning.
