Advertisement Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Hi MPerson, Take a look here Show us your darkroom?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Paulus Posted September 15, 2012 Share #22 Posted September 15, 2012 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. Welcome, dear visitor!

Paulus Posted September 15, 2012 Share #23 Posted September 15, 2012 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! Looks great! Next time I come to Dungeness, I hope you'll invite me to a tour! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted August 4, 2013 Share #26 Posted August 4, 2013 I like the nicely framed pictures on the wall. Does anyone here have any experience with RHdesigns products? They seem to be competitors (somewhat) of the Heiland Splitgrade system. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobbu2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share #28 Posted October 4, 2013 I use the whole basement utility room, closing the door then turning off the room lights and switching on the safelights. The utility sink is across the room. Works great! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post maxspbr Posted December 4, 2014 Popular Post Share #34 Posted December 4, 2014 Mine darkroom is not beautiful (my bathroom), but this one is my grandfather's, around 1965. He was an enthusiast of Leica since late 30's. Slide probably taken with M3 and Super-Angulon. Welcome, dear visitor!

Martin B Posted February 4, 2016 Share #37 Posted February 4, 2016 My darkroom is just a small closet space for dry work. I only keep my Beseler 45M enlarger in it with a small table on the side. I do all the wet development in a bathroom without windows but with vent. Works fine for me! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
