Hello from Eastbourne
Hello,
I'm in the process of recommissioning an old dark room at a friend's house. We cleaned it all out at the weekend and set the enlarger up and tinkered about with all the equipment (taps are working with no leaks!). We are both novices at developing and printing (in fact I have never done it at all , but my friend has some experience from way back) but we are both full of enthusiasm. So, over the next few weeks/months, I may be asking some very basic and/or silly questions, but I feel sure I have come to the right place! Looking forward to sharing my experiences with you. Robin |

Hi Robin and welcome. This is indeed a nice forum to visit and exchange ideas, ask questions and show work.
Someone once told me, 'the only silly question is the one you don't ask' Enjoy that darkroom, they are enchanting places.

Hello Robin and a warm welcome to FADU. Well done on bringing the old darkroom back to life - what a very worthwhile project :-)
Neil.

Hi Robin, this is the place to ask questions - you will probably surprise us all and ask us something none of us can answer!
Welcome in any case |

Hi Robin and welcome. You've started off with two big bonuses. A darkroom with running water and someone to share the ups and downs with in person. Oh and just a few more people here who can add to your knowledge.
Mind you, I have found that FADU has its drawbacks. There's no bulls**t and no-one starts his advice with: "there's only one way to do this..... Ah well you can't have everything: Mike |

Welcome aboard Robin. Sounds like you have an ideal setup there - somewhere to print and a mate to share with - great stuff.
Ask away! |

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome; much appreciated. The first shock was that my friend discovered the local photographic store no longer stocks chemicals . I told her we can buy by mail order so there should be no problem. I found an ad for Retro Photographic in B&W Photography (Jan edition) which is where I found details of FADU. Everything is coming together nicely and I feel greatly reassured by your kind offers of advice.
