Black and white film photography

Just lately i have been using a college film camera and loading it with an FP4 black and white film. Clive has been teaching me how to use it correctly by getting the right exposure. Once i have used my role of film i have been developing it in the dark room. I have to first use a black bag to un-role the film onto a film role then i put it in a light proof container. The bag has arm holes so you can do this but these armholes do no allow light in. If  light reaches the film before it is developed the film will be fogged and damaged. Once the film is in the light proof container you can take it out in the dark room.There is a hole at the top of the container where you can pour in the developer. The developer must first be mixed with water to reach the right temperature.Once the temperature is correct you can pour it in to the container and shake for 30secs. You must leave the developer in for 12 mins. shaking every minutes for 10 seconds. Once this is done you can pour this away. Then you can pour in the stopper. Just enough so that you can see it running out of the hole. You must leave this for 6 minuets, once again shaking every minuet for 10 seconds. The same thing is repeater with the fixer. Then you must leave your film in the wash for about 30mins. Then hang it up to dry.
  After i developed my first role of film i printed each film strip out onto a piece of photography paper. This is so you can see what photo's are worth printing as some of them may be over exposed of under exposed. Here is an example from my first developed role of film.

When you've chosen a photo you want to print you put it into the enlarger. You need to use a scope so you can make sure you get the focus just right. You know its right when you can see the grains in the scope. After this you need to do test strips. You need to set the timer on the light for 2 seconds and then expose the paper to light. When the timer goes off  you need to cover a quarter of the paper and expose the rest of it for another 2 seconds. You do theis until you've reached 8 seconds and then develop it. This way you can see how many seconds of light the final version of the photo will need. The longer you expose it to light the darker it will get. Here is my test strip.

When you know how many seconds to set the timer for you can then add some color to the picture if you need to. Either magenta, yellow or cyan. After you've added the color you just turn the timer on for the set amount of time then develop the photo. This is my final piece.
