Developing

[Teeniechick]

Hey, I am very new at the whole analog photography. I have a 35mm camera and i know how to use that but now i would like to learn how to develop my film, I'm taking this step my step so for now all i want to do is develop them, not ready to take on the prints yet. Ha. So I'm wondering what i need as in equipment and what to do. Thank you very much

P.s where do i go about getting this stuff?

To start developing your own film (and I am assuming B&W, though this works for color, too) you will need a developing tank and reels. I would get the two reel tank (16 ounce) to start. A good thermometer that is accurate in the 60-80 degree Fahrenheit range, but up to 120 for color. A digital kitchen timer, a pair of scissors and a can opener. Some string or wire and a few clothespins. So:

Tank, 16 ounce (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/111290-REG/General_Brand_NP10114_Stainless_Steel_Tank_Plastic .html)
2x reels (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/71022-REG/Kalt_NP10109_35mm_Stainless_Steel_Reel.html) (these are mid priced, if you can get the more expensive then great, but don't get the cheapest.)
Can Opener (http://www.acemart.com/renderImage.image?imageName=graphics/00000001/products/_AAATAP1.jpg)
Scissors (Walmart)
Thermometer (Walmart)
Timer (Walmart)
String or wire and clothespins to hang film to dry (Walmart)
A very dark place to handle the film while you load onto the reels, or a changing bag (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/552294-REG/Bower_DB301_Changing_Bag_16.html).

it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of measuring cups (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/40055-REG/Paterson_PTP309_Plastic_Beaker_Ounce_and.html) for your chemicals.
