Default Hello from Peterborough

Hi to everyone, from the newest of newbies.

I've been shooting 35mm for over 20yrs, mainly holidays etc. I have always wanted to develope / print my own, but have never have.

Recently I have been given / bought enough to set up a "billy basic" darkroom, so am finally going to give it a go.

Knowledge is in short supply but, plenty of enthusiasm.

Where does any one think I should start reading in the forum ?

Welcome Ian. The forum has a search facility that should help your research, other than that just ask for any specific help required.

I'm not too far from Peterborough, as I live in Barnack, out near Burghley House.

Welcome Ian, I am sure you will have lots of fun, and possibly a little frustration too.

I'm from Newcastle and have recently started printing in the darkroom, having been given a load of gear. In the last year I've started developing mono, E6, and C41, so printing seems like a logical step.

At the moment I'm working through a large supply of donated paper of unknown age so quality is a bit, erm, variable !
