Bathroom darkroom

[-doomed-]

Yesterday I worked in my very own darkroom. I was recently given an enlarger ,trays, and a bunch of chemicals formerly owned by Bruce Springsteen photographer Frank Stefanko.

I set up my processing trays in the shower floor set the enlarger on the other side and hung my safe light up .

After several overexposed attempts , I made two or three prints that were ok and one I really enjoyed. This was my first darkroom attempt and I can say I am now hooked , this is as much of a rush as when I developed my first roll of film and pulled the negatives off the reel.

Trial by fire as always .

I read as much as I could on the subject, but I just decided I needed to actually just try it. Next step , get a medium format carrier and finish putting together my bronica etr kit.

Roger's modules on buildng your own darkroom really came in handy for this and I want to thank him for providing such great information.

Oh, dear. Now you're hooked. Sorry.

Seriously, I'm glad it was helpful, and that you're getting good results. Great, innit?

Cheers,

Its amazing , its been a while since ive been in a darkroom , but even then it was making negatives on lith film to make offset printing plates . That was simple,idiot proof, and underwhelming. No apologies necessary , it seemed a logical step and after acquiring essentially a free darkroom it had to be experimented with.
