This was a test roll on a couple levels. First test was to see if I could get the film onto a steel developing reel (my first attempt in the dark!) and to test whether or not this film was completely destroyed or not as I accidentally exposed the entire 100 foot roll to the light.

After thinking about it for a few days, I decided to go back into the darkroom and remove a bunch of the film and to place the rest of the roll into a bulk loader to roll a short roll of film (12 exposures). I put it through a Minolta Maxxum 7 and just shot the roll in a matter of a half hour - just to get something on the film.

After developing the roll I saw that only the very edges of the film was ruined but the rest was fine. That made me very happy because I thought I lost the entire 100 foot roll.

ORWO N74 plus cine film developed in HC-110 dilution B for 6 minutes at 20C using a steel daylight developing tank. Up until this point I always used a plastic Patterson tank system.

And despite what the box says, no salt was harmed in taking of, or developing of this photo/film.
