Do you develop your own photos? It was developing that was the focus of my first photography course, fifteen years ago. I have a small dark room in my basement and only do my own black and white because I am not good enough to work in total darkness! I need my red light!

I've developed a couple times at a friend's house, but I don't have the dedication or space to do it at my house all the time. I normally settle for developing at my local Ritz camera place where they are really good about checking the colors and reprinting if they come out off.

I have had some horrible experiences with the bigger developing chains. Honestly I no longer trust them. So if I am taking colour shots, I will take them to a smaller (and yes, more expensive) place that is less production line.

at uni we have to develop and print all our own black and white film, we used to be able to e6 process slide film but the machine has died, we still have a c41 processing machine but i tend not use it, as i shot most colour stuff on digital

I develop my own film and print my own stuff at uni but only black and white. I haven't really bothered with c41 coz i also do most colour on digital.
