Hello, I've just randomly got into film photography and now it's time to get them developed . Where is the best place to do it? I saw a few sites online that are doing it for very little but I wasn't sure about that, any recommendations? Also, is it possible to brighten up underexposed shots?

Gunns Camera Shop on Wexford street are one of the best.

Yes, but if you're not developing yourself the only option is to do it on your PC.

Once you have the digital scan from the negative you can treat it like any digital photo. But, as ever, how much you can save depends on how badly underexposed it is.

Camera Exchange are also pretty good - they were recommended to me. I have 2 rolls due to be developed too and that's where I'm going to bring them.

Having said that, this really only applies if it is colour film you are getting developed - if it is B&W film I believe most places send this out now to be done?

(might be wrong here though!)

I think many of them are sending the B&W to Gunn's, though I am open to correction.

Worth considering doing it yourself, at least you can control it then.

I just did a workshop last weekend to learn exactly that - though I'd rather practice on some rolls of film where I can easily reshoot rather than the ones I have for developing now from recent trips I can't revisit so easily

If you are interested in learning, check out the TOG website and I'm sure if there was sufficient interest another workshop could happen.
