rpavich Posted October 11, 2015 Share #7181 Posted October 11, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Because I shoot no where near enough film! Next purchase has got to be a negative scanner or a house with a darkroom for printing! I really would like to figure out how to get set up for printing but to me, it's really confusing trying to figure out what's good, what's not, what I need, what to buy....yikes. I wish I had someone near me who could let me do a hands-on to get started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infuriatingly they had the bad manners to get divorced and move away. Maybe they'll let me rent it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted October 11, 2015 Share #7186 Posted October 11, 2015 RP, I agree, try printing. I recall you "arriving" just a very short while ago, and not having processed anything, nothing. Now you are an accomplished set of processing hands, even "experimenting" with old film, and exhausted chemicals. What a short but sharp rise. Printing is simpler if anything, so don't hesitate to try it. I am more than happy to assist with what you need and how, if you feel you need a one on one assistant, and I am sure the majority of the thread particiapants would do the same.

gbealnz Posted October 11, 2015 Share #7193 Posted October 11, 2015 Something I didn't add to my post earlier, and something that is often difficult to convey. The feeling you get (or will get) when the first print "appears" in the developer, it is almost magical, really is. I remember it in the mid 60's, and still feel the same today, it is a wonderful sense of achievement. You've come this far, processing your own negatives/film, so the rest is a given, try it. And harping back to my youth, where disposable income (as a schoolboy) was scarce, all you really need is chemicals, and paper. I used old trays that we got our meat on, too shallow, but they were free. Chemicals and paper came from a chemist who I worked for after school. I was hooked. The enlarger I "made" from a slide projector which we had. Thinking back, it was THE best way to learn, the hard way. Even if you just proof sheet your negs, for selection later on. No enlarger required for that. Gary 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, though, like to see more shadow details. I don't think the highlights are bright enough to achieve a successful silhouette. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted October 11, 2015 Share #7196 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Another early morning cityscape with EKTAR (from a few weeks ago). I like the composition and went back to this spot this morning for the sunrise in an attempt to get the skyline sharper (and capture the scene with more of the rising run in the sky) and I miscalculated the tide and got too close to the water and then at the wrong moment got engulfed in a wave from a distance passing tug boat. Never saw it coming... My pants and shoes were completely soaked and I lost my Minolta Spot Meter F which I had to repurchase on Ebay earlier today. Welcome, dear visitor!
