After a lengthy hiatus, I made a return to the darkroom today with the sole intention of kick-starting my photography.
Some time ago I uploaded an image to the 'Discussion Gallery' and although well received, it was suggested that I might consider printing to 16x12 instead of my usual 10x8. As a relative beginner, this was a rather scary notion but the attached thumbnail shows the results of my first foray into uncharted territory. I'm still making daft mistakes so I'm printing on RC for now but I have to say; I'm very pleased with the results. My motivation and direction is still sadly lacking when it comes to my photography, but at least I'm back in the darkroom again.

Richard,
When I saw your prints drying in your darkroom my first thought was stunning photo, wish I'd taken it! It's from somewhere in North Yorkshire if I'm not mistaken? It looks a excellent composition and well printed, nice and moody which really suits the subject. It's great to see you've got back into your darkroom and I for one still make silly mistakes simply due to a lack of practice. I'm going to PM you tonight.

I'm very grateful for your gracious and encouraging comments although in truth there's a way to go before I too, am printing on 16x20" FB paper to your standards! Still, early signs are (fairly) encouraging. To overcome my present malaise further, I've invested in a certain lo-fi camera from China which I'm hoping will re-kindle the photographic flame - or at least, put some fun back into my expeditions. Anyway, thanks for kicking-off a great thread and I hope others will be similarly encouraged to make their own contribution. Kindest regards, Richard |

Had a very satisfying printing session today - printed 2 negatives from 2005. While I enjoy printing new work I do believe it is worth ones time looking back on earlier work -I'm sure we all have a few hidden 'gems' worthy of our attention

I was at the Castle Farm, Kent today, exposed 4 rolls of film, processed them this afternoon, just off to my darkroom to print them...

After refurbishing my enlarger with new bellows and a self-built l.e.d. lightsource, I've been making small workprints of my 'Forest Floor' series; things I found in local woodland - fungi, feathers, leaves, flowers, a dead squirrel... Scanning negs is great but I think printing really gives one an idea of what's possible with the negative. Anyway it's great to be back in the darkroom after such a long absence. :-)

I spent some time yesterday in my darkroom printed another 3 of my Hamptome bits and bobs series, and another of a ''Mascot'' on a car that I took after it made me laugh, and a pic of a really lovely old Harley Davidson motorcycle and it's owner, and with the very wet weather I will soon be back in there printing some more of my Coastal series

After a lot of months without work in my portable lab due to the high temperatures in summer, today I printed some 5x4 contacts and one 35 mm negative. My first idea was to prepare a new developer —to me—, but the Ammonium Chloride didn't arrive in time so I must return to the D163. Contact prints have been printed in Fomaspeed 311 and the 35mm image has been printed in Adox MCC 110 formated in 28x14 mm (2:1). I'm very happy with results. |

It's been proving difficult to get into the darkroom of late and hence my lack of participation in the print/neg exchanges.
I'm hoping this is all going to change at some point... This is what I was able to turn out today and is one of three I'll be printing for the annual exhibition at the photo club.
