Jim - that SpotTone brings back some memories.

 

Still using SpotTone

 

My Darkroom is a DarkCellar. Very small, ceiling hight 1,7 meter floor about 2,5*2,5 meter

 

My LPL has to stand on a very low marble table ( about 40 cm ) otherwise the pole sticks in the ceiling.

 

I sit in a resort chair. " Running water" is in canisters.

 

It's not a great darkroom, but I can enlarge my 30* 40 cm without any problems and I like to sit here for some hours per week.

 

The white sheets you see against the walls is for preventing the chalk to fall in my gear.

Well my recent build is well documented here and here.

 

Over the years I have had a darkroom: in a cupboard, under the stairs, a bathroom, a shed, an air raid shelter, a caravan, a tent when in the field and only developing at night with no moon.

 

The most fun though was onboard various Royal Navy ships with a purpose built darkroom - placed as low in the ship as possible. You couldn't waste fresh water so I used to rinse and wash in salt water and only used fresh as the final rinse with wetting agent. If you had a good swell running you had automated agitation! :D

 

 

Looks great!

 

 

 

Next time I come to Dungeness, I hope you'll invite me to a tour!

Paulus,

 

That is a nice intimate setup, my first dark room at home, was much like that, the guest toilet where I would roll in a trolley with my equipment. I would sit on the only available seat but the advantage was that everything was within easy reach.

 

Regards

Charles

Mine still works. It's great to be in the cellar at 30 degrees Celsius!

I just realize that I am sitting in this dark cellar for 20 years this year now. Strange idea... ;) ( not the whole time of course..)

Venice underwater...

 

Rinsing in rainwater. Normally about 50 liters of rainwater I can use for rinsing. The last rinse is with tapwater.

Here is my very primitive darkroom that I've setup last weekend.
