First Prints done
After many months of collecting equipment and temporarily converting my bathroom into a darkroom I finally made my first prints ......... then I gave them away before I scanned them to show off
I wasn't disappointed the magic of watching the image appear and the frustrations of all the failures (10) to get the 1st good print Desperately wanting to print more Erik |

Well done Erik - it's a nice bug to be bitten by!
You'll soon find that frustration makes way to resigned frustration with the occasional whoop of triumph Nah, seriously, printing is a wonderful way to while away a few hours/days |

Even after all these years, whenever I think I'll just spend an hour or so in the back bedroom (sorry, darkroom) I find that several hours have disappeared without me realising it.
Enjoy your printing, Erik. |

Welcome! It's a great feeling, isn't it? Nothing quite beats being able to point to a print and think "LOOK! I MADE A THING!"

You wait it won't be long until it's ten good ones and one in the bin.

I considered turning my back bedroom into a darkroom but then had the opportunity to use our rennovated cellar. It's a good job, otherwise I don't know what I'd have done with the host of cheap bedframes we've collected from Zen Bedroom. They're very important - or so my wife tells me. She's something of a hoarder.

Things have moved on slowly but surely and I know have a Darkroom / shed in the garden. It took many more months to complete than I anticipated and personal issues have made simple jobs last much longer than they should, but I agree Ian the magic doesn't wear off and I try and spread the magic amongst my local camera club as often as I can

I use our spare (tiny) bedroom. No running water but as someone said in another thread (roughly) a bucket or two of water will suffice.
