Darkroom
| 
Dec 29 15:01 UTC 1996 |
Well, I finally cleaned up my darkroom and am getting it ready to print. I
plan to go out and shoot a couple of rolls of tri-x and then see if I can get
any good prints. Hopefully, I can find a Saturday or Sunday Morning after
a fresh snow, then do some river shots.
Anyone else do any home darkroom stuff?

Ah, to have a darkroom.... I'd love to do my own work/developing some day!!
I don't have the space nor the funds right now, though.

Well the expense would be well under $100 to get started printing
enlargements. I would think $50-75 would get you a used enlarger. The
chemicals and paper would cost another $20 then you need 3 to 5 trays. I
think I will have my B&W negatives comercially developed in the future and
just do the printing. It costs about $5-6/roll for B&W to be developed and
printed.
If you ever start, I have recommendations on how to make up just the amount
of developer, stop bath, & fixer you need for one session.

You can convert any bathroom without a window - and even most with - into
a darkroom. Ihave done it more than once by supporting a plywood sheet
over the bathtub, as a table (and installing light shields around the door
jamb). Which thought has suddenly reminded me that when I was in college,
I converted my dorm room to a darkroom! It became sort of a local meeting
room, where my friends and I sat around and gabbed in the soft orange glow
while prints developed in the tray...

re#2... no. I don't have the enlarger. I kept only plastic trays, film tank,
some measuring flasks/bottles/etc and a copy stand (which i still use).
Somewhere, i might even have the paper easel somewhere. I use the safelights
in my x-ray darkroom.
