Hello from Essex
Hi everyone
My name is Steve and I have been a lurking here and APUG for a while. These two sites have persuaded me that traditional photography is best. I sold my darkroom kit a few years ago and went digital. But I am so fed up of sitting in front of a computer and 'playing around'. I borrowed a film camera and went out to get the feel again. Now I have a bigger collection of film cameras than I ever had. I have searched fleabay for darkroom kit and i'm nearly ready to go (Just waiting for my Analyser from RH Designs). I don't think I have been this excited about Photography since I made my first print many moons ago. Look forward to keeping good company. Have a great christmas and new year. |

Hello and welcome Steve.
I know what you mean about being sat infront of a screen. Between the computer and the TV the darkroom becomes a refreshingly productive sanctuary and retreat.

Welcome Steve. Nice to see your return to film and darkroom. The red/orange light in a darkroom always make it seem more cosy when its "brass monkeys" :
