Hello,

Attempting to develop some 8x10s, in trays, with Rodinal. (Just got delivered from freestyle). I am in the west so it was in some heat probably while being ground shipped...



First 8x10 in, just turned black within a minute....


Immediately loaded camera, took a photo of the window..... attempted to develop, same thing... a little more slowly developed into black.


Using a small red safe light, also from freestyle...


Thermometer they sent didnt work, so I kept water "lukewarm" after reading 68-75 degrees for rodinal.



My measurement was 3 cups of water to 15mL of rodinal.


What am I doing wrong???? Yes film was loaded correctly.


LONG TIME reader and peruser of this forum.... first time developing...... please inform.
