Re: Doing you own film processing said by Kringle:Why not just use the old "bathroom heat sink method" for temperature stabilization? Fill your bathtub with 68° water and use metal film tanks submerged in the water to keep your chemicals at the prescribed temperature for the duration of the process. Put your chemistry in the cold bath ahead of time and add cold water to the tub as necessary. Uhh because you are just not paying attention AT ALL??? and think the entirwe world is just like where you are????
Key West..... our water comes down a 150 mile pipeline.... much above ground over the 42 bridges.... it in the 80's much of the year..... and then it gets here, and a couple of feet under asphault BAKED.
Places I have lived here I turn off the water heater in the summer, the water under the street is plenty hot..
There is NO cold water in Key West even in the winter without ice cubes , its still well over 70 most of the time even then..

kudos:3 | said by Hayward:Uhh because you are just not paying attention AT ALL??? OK, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and reread the whole thread and can't seem to find what I wasn't "paying attention AT ALL" to.
Am I supposed to read your mind and magically know what the crappy water supply is like in South Florida (not that I would ever want to)?
Methinks that you continue liking to be argumentative more than anything else.
Cheers! |

No climate and conditionsw vary a LOT and certainly sociology and politics too..
And BTW I prefer them any ways all I have is a shower.... no tub....and still not the cold waater to put in it even if I did... again you assume a lot that your condition is everyones.

4 edits | Again who isn't reading..... I do not have the space.... I do not have space with plumbing, I do not wish to pay to turn my house into a refrigerator, and chill water to below 75 degrees would also be a necessicity. I doubt KW tap water has ever been below about 73 deg even in winter.
And now that I think about it probably why ALL the 1 hour photo places do such a crappy job the watter is too warm..... doubt they chill it.
Spent MANY hours in a dark room as a kid doing Ektachrome and Agfachrome in the interior windowless bathroom....and NE cool house and well water (that also cost nothing but electric to pump.
And in college, degree in media communications, and a large part of that was photography, .
as well as TV, Radio, newespaper (also involving photo)
OK you were and an AC hound in NO, and kept your house at 68 deg, and had water of that temp too..... so be it, I don't nor care to pay to do it....let alone live in a house that cold. (Vs agin kived up north you didn't want to pay to keep it much warmer.)
.... vs most Miamians blot frover AC'd house to over AC'd car to over AC's mall or restaurant.... and never go outside in summer.
In KW my house in nver below 80 in the summer.... cool ebough to dry the air but no real shock when you go out the door.... and don't mind being outside.
And as I also said as the firt reply in this thread I'd love to have that big ol' Bessie if I had the place for it.
But reason even the childhood home did slides because not the space in that little bathroom for an enlarger, but college was fun full darkroom with several enlargers and lens/carrier sets.... 35mm to 4x5 including for that matter a big ol Bessie.
