Default Hi from bedfordshire.

Hi to all. I started with photography just over a year ago and have been using mostly om gear and home processing b&w and c-41. I set up a darkroom about 6 months ago to do b&w prints ( I pinched my dad's old gamer enlarger). Recently I've been getting set up for ra-4 and managed also to pick up an etr-si and a meopta enlarger to go with it

I spend a lot of time experimenting with amplification and latensification on colour films, as the mad scientist in me wants to rattle bottles of chemicals around the darkroom.

I have been known to rattle a few bottles also but not necessarily in the darkroom - welcome to FADU, Ben!

Neil.
