Default Hello from Denmark

Have been an amateur photographer for about 30 years.

My present darkroom is built up around a 'DEVERE 504' chassis found on the local dump. The addition of a 'BESELER 45' condensor head by a very canny son-in-law, and...Bob's your uncle.

I work mainly in 4x5 monochrome, split grading. My photography and processing very traditional stuff, though recently when I tried f/stop printing with the ensuing "WOW!!!" factor, tradition got a robust clout upside the head with the purchase of a dedicated f/stop timer. (Now just try taking THAT away from me!)

I have tried digital, of course, and have seen some truly stunning work done in this field by folks who have the knack, but the bug has never bitten and I remain firmly on the darkside.

Thanks for allowing me along,
Deryck

Welcome to FADU Deryck and it's good to have another darkside worker with us :-)
I have been in the darkside for nearly 40 years and have no intention of leaving!

Neil.
