Cute little series :) I especially like the last one, it can easily stand on its own.

Thanks, its my first self developed colourfilm. Colortec C-41 >8'  >30C although my 35 is better then the 120 this one seems to have a kind of fog. Overall I'm surprised by the quality of development. The hardest part is to keep the temp at 38C; I use a double 'bain Marie' but with the outside temp of 6C it's difficult.( that is; outside the house  :o )
Maybe there's another way to keep water at the right temp ?

Hi, I like the images. They work very well together as a series and evoke some memories of my own goodbyes.

As for C41, I have only done it a few times, but at a lower temperature (25C). As far as I know, this gives you a little more wiggle room in temperature and timing.  I have never tried developing at 38C. Normally I am using the digibase kit which separates the bleach and fix steps.
