Welcome Greg, enjoyed your intro. I would also like to know how people knew you were using monochrome film.

Hi Greg and welcome. Sounds as if you have got the disease bad. Well you've come to the right place to make it worse. A bit like a whisky lover moving to Speyside D:

Well, a phenomenal welcome. Over the 'years', I have subscribed to a number of (technical) forums and, by far, theses responses are the most welcoming. You are all from the planet Earth arn't you??!
photomi7ch and vincent, re the B&W question. Of course they wouldn't have known that it was B&W (unless they watched me using two cameras and made some sort of assumption....eeemmm). That's why it was "(B&W)" in parenthesis. But, thinking about it, in the colour world, there would seemingly be less there worthy of a photograph - a wall and a sign in black and white letters. So they would have been even more perplexed as to why I was taking the shot.... Or maybe it was just a bit like scenes where a guy in a street starts to look up at a building and more and more people do the same thinking that there must be some reason for it....so one looked and many followed...... baah!

Love your enthusiasm for the analogue genre! When's the darkroom finished?

The bathroom is a gutting-out of a ground-floor room currently used as a big store-room. My Darkroom is a new-build - but is basically a big shed - built from scratch. It is a timber construction built alongside the ground-floor store room - sorry, new bathroom. According to my calculations (!), it will have internal dimensions of 1.9m deep, 3.0m long and something like 1.9m tall minimum sloping to 2.1m (flat roof). I started build last Monday and have a complete outer shell that is water-tight but I still have to waterproof the roof and put some guttering in. Then I need to 'double-skin' the inside so that 7 inches of insulation goes all around. It, in theory, will be as usable in summer as it is in winter. When I have done the inner skin, it becomes, for the time being, a storage yard for the materials for the bathroom conversion (the new bath is getting rained on on the lawn at present!). When the bathroom is finished, I will do the first-fix electrics in the Darkroom etc and then really start to plan the Darkroom. I have a sink for the wet area and have planned the dry area for the highest part of the room so that the enlarger has most room. Other than that, it's all up for grabs really. I am still 'thinking' and have bought a couple of 'old' (i.e 1980 -1995) books about darkroom usage to help me think it through. These are Essential Darkroom Techniques by Jonathan Eastland and Hamlyn Basic Guide to Darkroom Techniques. These are on order and will arrive this week. Me thinks it'll be december before I am attempting to enlarge my first negative. Is my darkroom going to be big enough? Any 'insider' tips on the layout for a 1.9m x 3.0m room as a darkroom? I suppose I am lucky getting a 'virgin' site for a darkroom so would like it to be as ergonomic as possible?

In my case the yellow filter usually gives it away
