Default Hello from Alonso in Manchester

Hi all,

I've been bitten by the film bug quite recently and just tried once my own development in C41. I have been living in London until March and now, but live changes fast and now I'm moving to Manchester. It would be nice to be able to meet other film lovers and I'm really looking forward to practise in a darkroom. If you guys/gals now about shared darkrooms in the city it would be great... I'm quite a newbie to the film world but would really like to get my hands dirty!

Welcome to the forum Alonso.

There should be something of a darkroom in or around Manchester I would have thought.

Welcome Alonso. Have a look at the Ilford photo site. It has been promoting the idea of putting all darkrooms, public or private that are open to users on a site

It I were you I'd start with trad B&W processing. It isn't necessarily easier to do in terms of the process that's involved but is probably easier from the point of view of temperature control, chemicals involved etc

Mike

Hi Alonso welcome to FADU like Mike says the Ilford Local Darkroom site shows 3 darkrooms in the Manchester area 1 private but willing to share then a public one and a tuition one that looks a bit expensive, happy hunting.
