I recently got into film photography as well as home darkroom stuff. I prefer shooting regular clean everyday stuff digitally, so what I'm mainly interested in is making awful, damaged, and improperly developed negatives and prints. I've been shooting with two 35mm SLRs I retrieved from the garbage - a Minolta SRT-202 and a Pentax P50. The Minolta has a bad shutter curtain problem and the mirror mechanism locks occasionally, the Pentax is physically fine but a little crippled, feature-wise.
The first shots were on the Minolta, using 200 Kodak drugstore colour film. I developed the roll with b/w paper developer, and by running it through a 5x7 tray because I didn't yet have a developing tank. All the other steps were done by throwing the spaghetti film into the other trays and swishing it around.
I've since acquired a developing tank as well as some DD-X. These are from the Pentax, same crap drugstore Kodak colour film, developed in DD-X.
Minolta, Ilford Delta 3200, DD-X.
Thoughts? Tips? Ideas for further distressing/destroying negatives?
