I've got negatives!!!

[Sirius Glass]

One definitely has indicators that there is a high probability that it is a dog. The second negative appears to be flowering plants of the genus Tropaeolum, commonly called nasturtiums.

Your positiveness re your negative makes me happy. Keep up the fun!

Christopher,

If you want a holder for the film packets, I have an extra one I could send you for the cost of shipping. This way, you don't have to take them apart and risk dust getting on the film before exposure. PM me if you're interested.

Don't know which made me more excited, the first time i developed my own negatives (135 in Germany, not knowing what the heck I was doing) or the first time I developed 4x5 negatives (at NESOP taking my first professional class). Oh yeah, my first 8x10 was pretty exciting also.

Maybe a tie. I like your enthusiasm. Don't get carried away with more development, it makes the negatives harder to print. Those negatives look pretty darned good for your first efforts and using outdated film.

Get some real film, somewhere in the 100 to 125 speed range and perfect your development technique. And... go out and shoot. Lots.

I ordered the Arista box and took my first 4 photos today. MUCH BETTER negatives this time! Shot these inside, f4.5 at 1.5 secs. I'm hoping to contact print them later tonight or tomorrow.
