Ok, here's my first print out of the darkroom (complete with hairline from bad drying); taken with my new Zorki 4k from Alexphoto, with an I-26L/D. Film was bulk-loaded Agfapan 400. Print was scanned & cropped; no other modifications.
Any thoughts?

Well, welcome to the world of the wet darkroom. It's a lot of fun! All kinds of soup to play with now! How are ya liking the zorki?

Looks pretty good, better than my first print. Might try and milk a little bit more out of the shadows? Keep playing, darkroom work (for me) is a lot like taking pictures. More practice pays off, which reminds me, I should spend more time in the dark. :p
 
nice one. congratulations on your first shot. cant wait to see others.
by the way- what enlarger do you have?
 
Thanks - I was trying to get a lower-key effect, letting the chrome really stick out from the dark. I used an LPL 6600 enlarger at my school, but my home lab has an old Hansa Enlarger. Unfortunately, my photography teacher suffered an accident (thankfully, she should be fine by next year), so I have a substitute for the rest of the year - certainly makes my independant research worth the time!
