Hello,

What disaster is about to befall me as I try and stand-develop a roll of Tri-x in solution that is only 10 degrees Celsius?

I've used one of those funny linear graphs to compensate for the time.

Will cold developer do anything else odd?  Do I need to compensate extra? 

Also, has anyone ever developed a film in Perrier water?  The bubbles may be interesting?

I think you should put more of that Perrier in whatever it is you're drinking Chops...

If you're planning on souping it in Rodinal 1+100 (tri-x exposed at 400), my chart gives 40 minutes processing with agitation :)

That's how not to start your own 1 hour lab  ;D

As far as Perrier... if it's flat, it should be OK. Else you're bound to get the most bubbles on film ever (and consider registering your film with the Guinness book of records :) )

Right now, stand processing sounds like a good idea: I just had my A(H1N1) flu shot and my arm hurts... :(

Unless you want to process at 10C,  I usually put the bottle of chemicals in the sink with hot water for a few minutes until I get the desired temperature (20C).

The Perrier sounds a agood idea to me  :P

The processing turned out ok in the end  ;D

105 minutes stand developing 10 degrees C HC-110 diluted 1:124 (8ml in a litre of water)

Processing at room temperature would have saved over an hour of waiting...

Happy to see it came out in the end.

All I need is a good cold snap and I can watch an entire episode of Columbo!
