The Scene of the Crime

I had a right faff with the film from the Holga. It's Ilford HP5 Plus 400 and its THICK. It really did not want to go on to the spirals at all. I fought with it in the dark bag for about 30 minutes then I got totally fed up and performed the dread sin of unzipping the bag in a daylit room. Still couldn't get the film to load on to the spiral properly so I ended up with it sort of scrunched on. Bah. I developed it anyway but it's light leaky and some bubbles got trapped where it was scrunched. Still, it's okay in a Jack the Ripper Woz 'Ere sort of way.
