Thread: Darkroom anyone?

A hobby of mine is photography, mainly black and white.

I shoot with a Hasselblad 500c then enlarge on a Durst Laborator.

Anyone out there interested in enlarging their own prints?

It was my hobby in college. Of course I never had equipment like you have. Sweet. Black & White is great to work in.

There's no drooling smiley, so the crying one will have to do. I've always wanted a Hassenblad... I've got some equipment, mostly older manual enlargers and such, but no place dark or permanent enough to set them up...yet.

I started with an Omega XL22 in a bathroom. At night it was dark enough. Then things got a little out of hand. I went to a Bessler 4X5 and I now have a color head for it. When I worked for Vivitar I got spoiled. They had real darkrooms with a nice print automatic processor.

I've done some B&W films with my Nikon F50, and some 6x6 on my Ljubitel Mk2. Sadly, I never got into developing and enlarging, my pal does that for me... I liked my last B&W film, Kodax Tmax Professional 400 ASA, very very good detail and contrast, and grain even finer than most of the 100 ASA's... These days I'm snapping with my Nokia 6630

Good to see that there are still some people playing in the dark still.

My current darkroom is an old caravan in the paddock but I should have a shipping container delivered soon

Actualy I'm quite spoilt as I have a world renouned photographer and darkroom expert who lives down the street, he's taken me under his wing and is teaching me and let's me use his darkroom. You can visit his site at www.grahammacarter.com.au if your interested, he's photographed a lot of famous people in his day.

Thanks for the replies.
